The emergence of transient checkerboard and stripe patterns in a stack of driven quasi-one-dimensional homogeneous dipolar condensates is studied. The parametric driving of the $s$-wave scattering length leads to the excitation of the lowest collective Bogoliubov mode. The character of the lowest mode depends critically on the orientation of the dipoles, corresponding to out-of-phase and in-phase density modulations in neighboring condensates, resulting in checkerboard and stripe patterns. Further, we show that a dynamical transition between the checkerboard and stripe patterns can be realized by quenching the dipole orientation either linearly or abruptly once the initial pattern is formed via periodic driving., Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures
