i seem to remember there being a song mode advertised. i can't seem to find it in the manual. any ideas? by song mode i mean the ability to program patterns of patterns.

the only way to switch up your sequences within the machine is to mute tracks (w/isolator or whatever fx that mute) and unmute when desired.
or recreate pattern on another pad / use pattern copy http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q5q90OmW7EQ - and switch up your sequences live

There is no song mode on the 404, just trigger all different patterns in the correct order, and go through this at least fve times because you messed up while recording At least that's what happens to me all the time.

word, that's how i do it anyway. =)
