65 Adding Patterns to your Song — Insert Pattern
Naturally, you can add Patterns to your existing Songs — by using the Insert Pattern function. This puts a
new Pattern in the Song at the measure you specify.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re in the Song mode or the Song Edit mode — you can insert a Pattern from
either.
1 First, select the measure you want to insert the Pattern to, by holding
[SHIFT] and using the [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons.
2 Call up the Insert Pattern function.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [10] (INS/DEL PTN). You may have to press
the button more than once to call up the “inS” (Insert Pattern) display.
3 Next, select the Pattern you want to add to your Song.
Use the DATA knob.
4 Insert the selected Pattern.
The [10] button should be flashing. Press it once again (the button stops flashing and stays lit). At the
“Y£n” (“Yes or no?”) prompt, press it a third time to actually insert the Pattern to the selected measure,
or press [EXIT] to cancel.
Take a look at the illustration below and see what happens when you insert a Pattern.
Don’t forget to store your newly edited Song, or you’ll lose any edits you’ve made once you turn the power
off or select another Song or Pattern.
• Replacing a Pattern
If you want to replace a Pattern — in other words, erasing one and putting a new one in its
place — you’ll need to use Delete Pattern (page 88) to delete the Pattern first. Then, use Insert
Pattern to put the new one in.

space for the new Pattern.
Insert Pattern
Allows you insert a Pattern to any measure
within an existing Song. All subsequent Pat-
terns/measures are displaced.
With Song (or Song Edit) mode active, hold
[SHIFT] and use [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons
to select desired measure. Hold [SHIFT] and
press [10] to call up “inS” (Insert), select
the desired Pattern number with the DATA
knob, and press [10] twice to execute.
