Chain with first pattern repeated

This procedure is a bit more straightforward on OS 1.13:

  1. Press and hold the [PATTERN] button.

  2. Select and hold a PLACEHOLDER pattern key. This must not be a pattern you wish to add to the beginning of the chain. Continue holding this key throughout.

  3. Release the [PATTERN] button. This will clear the PLACEHOLDER pattern from the chain. The chain will remain active, however, as long as the PLACEHOLDER pattern key remains held down.

  4. Now you can press and hold the [PATTERN] button and select patterns to add to the empty chain.

  5. If you wish to select the PLACEHOLDER pattern, continue holding the pattern key of the last pattern added to the chain before releasing the PLACEHOLDER pattern key.

I still can’t get the pattern chain to display on the screen (I’m in v1 .12). Should I simply upgrade?

Found my answer here, which is great. Weird that the first-ptn issue exists in the first place. What is still utterly infuriating to me is that M:S can’t just save a chain with a project. I’m not asking for a sophisticated song mode; I know that is outside the “spirit of the box.” ANYWAY…I suppose it is a lost cause and this stage in the game.

Arrrghh … only just realised this is a simpler version than the one I’ve been using. Thanks for the update @echoicMalady.
