3.1.2 �Editing patterns and positions
This pattern/position system might sound a bit complicated at first, but in practice it is very convenient and it saves a lot of time and memory space. MoonBlaster v1.4 users need to be aware that next to the positions the numbering of patterns and steps also starts with 0!
====3.1.2 �Editing Editing patterns and positions==== Note: With the current pattern is meant: the pattern that is shown in the top right screen at that time. The current position is the position shown in the top right screen. When you change the current position, the current pattern changes automatically to the pattern on that position. This is not the case when you change the current pattern! The patterns are numbered from 0 to 79. The positions go from 0 to 219. This means that a song can have a maximum length of 220 positions. During the music editing it is essential to be able to move through to the patterns and positions rapidly. With the [TAB] and the cursors left/right you can move by one through the positions; [TAB] and cursors up/down can be used to move 4 steps at the time. Moving through the patterns can be done too, without changing the current position. This is done with [CTRL] and the cursor keys. Again, left/right is used to move by one, and up/down to move 4 steps at the time. [CTRL] with the space bar is used to put the current pattern on the current position. [CTRL]-[A] adds the current pattern after the last position. A pattern can also be inserted, this is done with [TAB]-[INS]. The current pattern will then be inserted on the current position (the ‘last’ position is then also increased by 1). Removing a pattern from a position sequence is done in a similar way, the [TAB] and [DEL] keys remove the pattern. The last position can be adjusted with [GRAPH] together with the cursor keys. This is used to set the song length. ====3.1.3 Pattern/Position editor====
