	The Pattern Editor is the main editor used to create music in Renoise and is opened with the Edit tab at the top left of the interface. Instruments are recorded by entering notes onto lines in the order that they are to be played, from top to bottom. This is done with the [[Tracker Interface]], so if you're unfamiliar with this method of working, you should [[Tracker Interface\|read through that section]] of the manual before continuing here.

	A pattern can contain multiple tracks, typically one for each different instrument and each with their own separate set of effects. Songs are created by arranging a sequence of patterns with the [[Pattern Sequencer]] and the [[Pattern Matrix]]. So, a pattern is normally used to represent a specific section of a song that may be repeated again in future. The length and speed of a pattern can be changed, so the exact nature of a specific pattern can vary wildly depending on the whims of the composer.

	~~== Editing and Navigating in Patterns ==~~

	~~Before anything can be recorded into the Pattern Editor, Edit Mode needs to be enabled, which is done by either pressing the ''"ESC"'' key or the record button in the [[Transport Panel]].~~

	~~=== Basic Shortcuts ===~~

	Moving the cursor around in the Pattern Editor can done with the arrow keys. The Page Up/Down buttons will move the cursor up and down 16 lines at a time. To quickly jump to the next note column press ''"TAB"'', while ''"Left Shift + TAB"'' will jump back to the previous note column. ''"F9"'', ''"F10"'', ''"F11"'' and ''"F12"'' will move to the beginning, first quarter, half, last quarter of the pattern, respectively. Hit ''"End"'' to skip to the last note in a pattern.

	To select an area in the Pattern Editor, hold down the ''"Left Shift"'' key while moving around with the arrow keys. This can also be done by left-clicking and dragging with the mouse. The selection can also be cut, copied and pasted using the standard keys: ''"Left Control/Command + X (Cut), C (Copy), V (Paste)"''.

	~~A selection can also be made by starting with ''"Left Control/Command + B"'' and ending with ''"Left Control/Command + E"''.~~

	~~=== Column/Track/Selection/Pattern Shortcuts ===~~

	~~To quickly edit, copy and paste in the Pattern Editor:~~

	* '''F1 + MODIFIER:''' Transpose one note down
	* '''F2 + MODIFIER:''' Transpose one note up
	* '''F3 + MODIFIER:''' Cut
	* '''F4 + MODIFIER:''' Copy
	* '''F5 + MODIFIER:''' Paste
	* '''F6 + MODIFIER:''' Flip
	* '''F11 + MODIFIER:''' Transpose one octave down
	* '''F12 + MODIFIER:''' Transpose one octave up

	~~Where ''MODIFIER is:''~~

	* '''Left ALT: '''Selection in the Pattern
	* '''Left CONTROL/COMMAND + SHIFT: '''Current Column
	* '''Left SHIFT: '''Current Track
	* '''Left SHIFT + ALT: '''Current Group
	* '''Left CONTROL/COMMAND: '''Whole Pattern

	~~=== Drag & Drop of Selections ===~~

	You can also use the mouse to quickly move and copy a selection of notes or effects. First, mark an area in the pattern by left-clicking and dragging, then re-click and hold on the selected area and drag the selection to a new position. Holding down the ''"Left Control/Command"'' key while dropping will copy the selection instead of moving it.


	~~== Recording of Notes into Patterns ==~~
