Unlike the QY700, the QY100 and QY70 only allow you to set the pattern length before adding any chords or notes. ? but as mentioned previously you can create a new pattern with a shorter length and copy into it from an existing pattern.
Another possibility (that I have not tried) is to create the long pattern and then use song mode to switch patterns halfway through… I think you’d probably have to switch to a different pattern or it would just continue finishing the current pattern, but if you switch to another pattern halfway through a pattern it should switch immediately (by which I mean: at the end of the given measure).
Using this technique could accomplish something similar you made a number of patterns that were all very short like one measure… you could use song mode to switch around all of the patterns at every measure… Not sure if that would actually help or not (for your use case) but it is a possibility I think.
Cheers,

Greetings,
I am working with some syncopated phrases and I put them into a pattern in the QY100 to turn it into a loop trainer because I don't think it has an AB function.
I found that after I did that I could not change the pattern length so that I could focus on the first two bars of a four bar phrase for example.
Is there a work around?
Thank you.
