how come i can't change the pattern length? i'm turning the knob and it just says '2'...
any help greatly appreciated

I think it's impossible after you hit the rec button twice when in pattern mode.
You can make your already-created-pattern longer but before you hit rec after you've chosen the pattern number

okay i tried that but it still isn't working. turned the machine off and on and still no...

???

Try this, If it doesnt work, I dunno how to help you ( Maybe your memory is full, dunno, try to reinstall firmware, format memory card, or other clever shit ):

pattern select
rec
e.g. button 1 on bank "a"
(length->knob3->e.g. 2)
rec
~pattern recording~
cancel
~pattern recorded~

rec
button 1 on bank "a" /once again
length->knob3->e.g. 4
rec
~pattern recording~
cancel

ps.
"78" beat on your myspace is dooope

i was trying to change it while the pattern was recording.
it works when i do it before hitting record the second time.
thanks for the help and glad you enjoyed the tunes.
more rawness coming...

your fucking jesus christ

nah, Im not doing it with jesus
