Mode—Allows you to select the mode of your pattern:
“Major” (major), “m” (minor) or “7th” (seventh). Choose
the mode that matches the chord being used in the
excerpt. You can also decide to use the same phrase for
all three modes. The E-80 then attempts to transform
them in a musically useful way for the chords you play in
real-time. By selecting an option indicated by “=”, you
create several patterns at once, see also p. 204.
Division—Allows you to specify the pattern type that
should be created: Main 1, Main 2, Main 3, Main 4, Main
ALL, Fill Up1, Fill Up2, Fill Up3, Fill Up ALL, Fill Dw1, Fill
Dw 2, Fill Dw 3, Fill Dw ALL, Intro 1, Intro 2, Intro 3, Intro
4, Intro ALL, End 1, End 2, End 3, End 4 or Ending ALL.

for file names. Choose whichever is more convenient (or
clearer).
