Playing patterns
Pattern mode
You can use the sixteen keyboard pads as buttons to select patterns.
The patterns that are registered to each of the sixteen keyboard pads are handled as one “
pattern set
.” You are free to edit the
contents of a pattern set, and can store 50 different sets.
You can also switch between pattern sets during pattern playback.
* Pattern Call cannot be used in Song mode.
