Modes and Patterns and twain shall meet

[jedimole]

Every year I reset my Etrac and reload my modes and patterns because frankly, I don't get how they work. Well, I know how patterns work, but I'm always confused about how a Pattern gets attached to a mode! I'm a pattern fan and while in the hunt I may change the sensitivity and that's when I notice did I combine something, am I just using a pattern with the last mode? Ah **** now I'm confused.

I have Andys S's book and I have a lot of notes but I'm still not sure when I move a pattern to a mode and vice versa. Does anybody have a good video or tips and understanding something that should be simple?!

Me I'm just waiting to see the responses. Like you, I load and use patterns (Have 6 on my machine)...but have never understood what "Modes" are for or do...UNLESS they are imbedded, Minelab E-Trac patterns Hope someone can explain in "layman's" terms and you and I benefit from their expertise.

Yes...Patterns save whatever your settings were when you last used the machine.

pattern is just the discrimination pattern, while mode is the pattern and settings (sens, tones, deep & fast settings, etc.)
