Pattern Creating—[F4] Patch
This display lets you assign a Phrase to each track to
create a Pattern. 16 Sections named A – P can be created
for each Pattern. You can assign a User Phrase created
with the current Pattern selected. If you wish to use User
phrases recorded to tracks of other Patterns, use the
Phrase Data Copy function, selected with the [SF5] button.
Regarding parameters with no number, refer to the Play
display (page 210).
1 No. (Phrase Number)
Determines the Phrase number to be assigned to a track.
You can select one of the 256 User Phrases stored to the
selected Pattern. Please note that the User Phrases have
no data by default. When set to “---,” the track becomes
empty.
