There is another way to start Pattern playback – by pressing the
note son the keyboard. Move the cursor to the keyboard icon
and press the [INC/YES] button so that the F mark appears.
In this status, press any key to start the pattern playback.
Press the [DEC/NO] button with the cursor located at the
keyboard icon to turn the F mark off.
Make sure that the [SECTION] lamp is on (press the button if
necessary), then press any of the buttons shown below to
select and play the various Sections contained in a Pattern.
Pressing the [A] - [H] buttons calls up Sections A - H and
pressing the [PRE5] - [PLG3] buttons calls up the Sections I -
P. Try out various rhythm variations by changing the Section.
n Some Sections of the Demo Pattern may have no data. Because of
this, selecting some Sections may result in no sound.
Unlike Song playback, Pattern playback continues in a loop
until the [] (Stop) button is pressed.
You can stop the Pattern anytime during playback by
pressing the [] (Stop) button. This pauses the Pattern at the
current position. To resume playback of the Pattern from that
point, press the [F] (Play) again.
To instantly return to the beginning of the Pattern, press the
[] (Top) button.
Selecting a Pattern is done in the same way as selecting a
Song. Refer to step #5 above.
