60 Storing your new Pattern
Now that you’ve created a new Pattern, you’ll want to save it for future recall. The Store function lets you do
this quickly and easily. And remember, any and all changes you’ve made to the accompanying Voice —
including your knob and button settings, Free EG moves, and Effect edits — are stored with the Pattern, too.
The AN200 gives you 128 User memory spaces for saving your original Patterns.

Before you store, make sure the Memory Protect function is off. If it is on, you won’t be able to store your
Pattern.
1 Simultaneously hold down [SHIFT] and press [16]
(UTILITY SETUP).
You may have to press the button more than once to call up the “Prot”
(Memory Protect) display below.
2 If Memory Protect is set to on, use the DATA knob to change it to off
(“oFF”).
Unless you’ve changed the setting yourself, Memory Protect will probably be off.
Event Parameters — Synth and Rhythm Tracks
Pitch
Determines the pitch of the selected note. For the Synth track, this is
expressed as note names; for the Rhythm tracks, it is expressed as num-
ber of semitone steps. (The small “o” in the note name display designates
accidentals. For example, “
” corresponds to G#.)
Range
C-2 — G8 (-64 — 24 for Rhythm tracks)
Gate Time
Determines the length of the selected note. The higher the value, the
longer the note length. For sounds that have a short decay, higher values
may have little to no effect.
Range
1 — 1600
Velocity
Determines the volume of the selected note. Use this parameter especially
to create accents in the Pattern.
Range
0 — 127
Instrument Select
Determines the instrument sound for the selected note. This parameter is
available only for the Rhythm tracks.
Range
(Refer to list on page 140.)
Once you’ve created a Pattern (or Voice) you want to save, DO NOT select another Pattern until
you’ve stored it. Selecting another Pattern (or Song) automatically wipes clean any changes or
edits you’ve made!
