I'm sure this is more likely to be user error, especially as I'm a complete newbie to music production and using such equipment but I've just received my TR09 I can't for the life of me seem to be able to change patterns groups on the TR09 like I think you should.
In pattern play mode the manual says to change the pattern group hold the shift key and then select A or B and then press one of the pattern groups 1-3, this doesn't seem to work for me.
If I'm in pattern group 1 for example and press pattern group 2 all that happens is that pattern group 1 stays lit and pattern group 2 flashes and nothing else seems to happen. The only way I've found to be able to change pattern groups is to press shift then press a pattern group, which of course goes into pattern write mode with the LED flashing. If I then press that same pattern group number without the shift key it stops flashing and goes into play rather than write mode.
Is this the normal behaviour? If so what does it mean when I'm in one pattern group (say 1) then press another pattern group (say 2) and pattern group 1 stays lit and pattern group 2 is flashing?
Also, every time I turn it on it defaults to track play and cycles through all the tracks. Is there a way to set it so that when you turn it on it goes straight to the pattern you were last working on?
Any help appreciated.
P.S. Looking at this youtube video my TR09 certainly doesn't do this when I press the pattern group button, as I said when I press the pattern group button it just flashes whilst the other remains lit.
