  1. ComboInside the PAGE SETUP menu, hold FUNC and press YES to switch between PER PATTERN (all tracks share length) and PER TRACK (each track has its own LENGTH and SCALE — the key to polymetric Aphex-style patterns).
  2. TurnIn PER TRACK mode, the TRACK column sets the active track's steps/scale; the PATTERN column sets master CHANGE and RESET lengths (RESET INF = tracks loop freely without restarting).

Result: Tracks can run different lengths/speeds against each other.
