base.
• Use the procedure under “To play back elements of the accompaniment
pattern in the work area” on page E-50 to play back the pattern and
become familiar with its elements and parts. During playback, you can
practice playing the notes you plan to record.
• Determine the number (120 to 129) you will assign to the new pattern.

nome Setting” on page E-53 to select the metronome setting you want.
