[TAP]. Rest steps and tie steps in your original pattern are ignored.

6. You may repeat this Tap Input Mode procedure several times (starting again at Step 3 above).
Your Bass Bot will remember all the steps of the original pattern, even if you've edited the pattern
using Tap Input Mode to have fewer steps than the original version. The unused steps will be
saved until you select a different pattern for editing, at which time your edited pattern will be
committed to memory.
Patterns that are modified using Tap Input Mode are restricted to a length of 16 steps, though the pattern
length can be changed as usual after exiting Tap Input Mode.
The diagram below illustrates how Tap Input Mode works. The characteristics of the starting pattern are
shown first. Then in Tap Input Mode, we press [TAP] at approximately steps #1, #3, #7, #10, and #13. The
pattern that results from this is shown as the new pattern.
Note the following in the example above:
St
ep #3 in the new pattern will be “slid” into because the previousl
tapped step
step #1 in the
new pattern) was a slide step, even though a rest was inserted in step #2. This slide behavior can
be used to make interesting new rhythms.
Step #5 of the starting pattern is not used because it is a rest step.
The taps on steps #3 and #13 were long taps, which result in tie notes within the new pattern.
You can tap more steps than your starting pattern contained. For example, if your starting pattern contains
only three note steps, you can still tap out more than three notes into the new pattern. The editor will loop
back to the first note in your pattern when it runs out of notes to add to the new pattern.
