Playing with Pattern Set
What is Pattern Set?
Pattern Set is a function that lets you register a favorite pattern to each of the sixteen step keys, and use the
step keys to switch patterns. You can use this function to play a performance simply by selecting patterns
one after the other
When you hold down the PATTERN SET key (the key will blink) and
press one of the sixteen step keys, the pattern registered for that key will
be selected. At this time you can use the SELECT keys to change the
pattern set group indicated by the red select LEDs (lower line) 1...4, to
use 16 x 4 (total of 64) pattern sets.
If during playback you hold down the PATTERN SET key and press
another step key, the pattern registered for that key will begin playing
when the currently-playing pattern finishes playing. (☞p.46 "Pattern
Set.")
If you hold down the SHIFT key and press the PATTERN SET key, the
Pattern Set function will be held. (The PATTERN SET key will blink.)
To defeat this "hold" condition, press the PATTERN SET key once again.
You can register new pattern sets. (☞p.46, "Registering a pattern for Pat-
tern Set.")
If you switch patterns during playback, the change will occur when each
pattern finishes playing. (☞p.33 "The timing at which patterns will changed.")
