Setting Play Modes

Every pattern (or MIDI key) in a Style has a deﬁnition that tells it how to play, whether it be a normal pattern, a

ﬁll, the ending or stop. To choose the Play Mode right-click (Mac: [Ctrl]-Click) a Pattern in the Pattern Selector

and a drop down menu appears with the following options:

The play modes are color coded in the Pattern Selector, Part Arranger and on the Color Keyboard and are

explained below.

• Normal (Blue): Normal Patterns play repetitively until another Pattern or the Stop and

End keys are played.

All of the Patterns in the factory Styles assigned between C1 and B2 on your MIDI

keyboard have a Normal setting.

• Fill/Short Fill (Green): Fills only play for one bar in length and then return to the last

Normal Pattern that was playing. Short Fill is exactly the same as Fill but only two

beats in length.

• End (Bright Red): Assigns the global Ending command to the Pattern. When the Ending key is played

Latigo plays until the end of it’s current bar and then stops. Some Endings have an extra hit on the ﬁrst

beat of the next bar, these Styles end this way when played traditionally.

When Latigo is stopped Endings can be played via MIDI or clicking the Color Keyboard.

• Stop (Full Red): Assigns the global Stop command to the Pattern. Latigo will stop playing instantly after

receiving a Stop.

Color Shading

In the Play Mode menu you will also ﬁnd an option to highlight patterns for easier identiﬁcation.

• Highlight: Allows you to highlight a color key (brighter shading). This can be useful for tagging important

Patterns for a live performance or for labeling favorite Patterns in a studio project.

In the factory presets, lighter variations are usually highlighted.

Arranging in the Pattern Arranger

The Pattern Arranger is the matrix on the Edit Page showing Patterns in the horizontal axis and Tracks in the

vertical axis. In the following section you will ﬁnd all of the functions to need to work quickly and easily in the

Pattern Arranger.

< Using The Mouse Wheel

Using a Mouse wheel will allow you to scroll or navigate quickly through the Patterns and Parts.

• The Mouse Wheel scrolls the Pattern Selector and Pattern Arranger vertically.

• When used above the Track Tabs the Mouse Wheel scrolls the Tabs left and right.

< Using Key Commands

• [Arrow Left] and [Arrow Right]: Select the previous or next Track.

• [Arrow Up] and [Arrow Down]: Select the previous or next Pattern.

• [Home] and [End] keys: Move the Track Tabs to the ﬁrst or last Track.

• [M] key: Mute/Unmute the current Track.

• [S] key: Solo/Unsolo the current Track.

Using [Shift][M] or [Shift][S] clears all mutes or solos.
