section can be used for numeric input, as described below.
The basic rules for creating a rhythm pattern sequence are as
follows.
Select the pattern
Use status keys 1 - 9 and the [DRUM] key to enter a pattern
number with up to 3 digits. The display shows the pattern
number.
•Line up patterns
Use the “+” symbol to line up patterns. For example,
entering
0 + 1 + 2 will result in the following play
sequence.
Repeat patterns
Use the “x” symbol to specify pattern repetitions. As in
regular arithmetic, multiplication symbols take precedence
over addition symbols. For example, entering 0 + 1 x 2 + 2
will result in the following play sequence.
•Link patterns
Use the “(“ and “)” symbols to link a group of patterns for
repetition. Strings enclosed by brackets are processed
together as a unit. For example, entering 0 + 1 + 2 x 2+ (3 +
4) x 2 will result in the following play sequence.
