NL4 Pattern sheet

Post by Execbat »

Hi,

I regularly found myself going through the pattern presets for arp/lfo just to check whether the rhythm that I need - or a similar one - exists in the pattern bank. But that was annoying, also due to shift+button+turn, so I made a reference sheet for the patterns. I thought I shared them here, maybe it's of use to someone.
Gate length is usually equal, I made it "readable" rather that messing with brakes etc. Did not do odd meter and fills.

Cheers.

That's a great job, thanks!
A few days ago I was commenting that the L4 arpeggiator is somewhat understated, the pattern feature is not widely spoken of, and there are no complete demos of all the patterns, and even the manual is missing a detailed reference sheet.

If you'd find the time to complete it with all the patterns it would be an invaluable resource, but even as it stands it fills a big void, thanks again!

Hello Execbat,

thank you very much for this useful post.
Your pattern-sheets are now an important part when i'm working with my Lead4.
Have fun and a nice summer.

best regards, Mike

Thanks a lot for this post!

It was actually the arpeggiator pattern mode that persuaded me to buy the NL4 instead of the A1.
I love the sounds of the A1, however the pattern arp mode can create some really nice riffs, especially when you layer different arp patterns for each voice in performance mode.

I hope to post some demo's soon of a few example riffs
