I’ve never seen this tip here on the forum, and it’s not something available in the default options. You can use the Pattern Matrix in horizontal mode by editing the Config.xml and setting the <PatternMatrixOrientationFlipped> option.

what in the actual flip?!
what’s next, horizontal pattern editor?
the only thing that bothers me about this is:
like the pattern sequencer on the left makes zero sense if it’s already on the top.
Looks like something they started and just kinda gave up on halfway.

i mean i did realize there’s the -/+ buttons missing, and there’s no method of getting the pattern naming to be shown or section naming, and the bits above and below the -/+ buttons are also not accessible if the pattern sequencer is hidden (it can’t be), but if those were addressed, we could just flip the switch

Looks even more like the matrix 
Probably, in the not too distant future, all of this can be done using tools, with a very, very similar appearance.

Wondering that it took so long until someone discovered it. This has been in there for ages. It was an experiment that was never finished. Kept in there as an easter egg. It’s not supposed to be useful…

was it there in v2.8? since getting ready to travel for a worktrip, i haven’t had the time to visit workspace and boot up 2.8 to see if it’s there
I think right mouse clicking this icon in the top right of the matrix;
…increased the slots to get wider. At maximum width you’d see a vertical bar in each block moving from left to right according to the pattern position. Think it was there in 2.8, but might be in an earlier version?
