Here’s a cool outro that’s like a fade-out — only much more interesting!
While the Pattern is running, select Scratch 73 (Part Mixer).
Turn the Scratch Pad counter-clock-
wise slowly to take instruments out of the mix, one-by-one.
After playing a couple of bars of only
the last instrument, hit PATTERN STOP right on the “one.”

The specific Parts that are muted and the order in which they are brought in and out
of the mix differs according to the selected Pattern.
