Creating a Pattern (Step Sequencer)
What is the Step Sequencer?
With the step sequencer, you can input notes for each step and then play them back in a loop.
You can change the number of steps within a range of 1–64 for each part.
Up to 128 patterns can be stored.
Selecting and Playing a Pattern
1. Press the [PATTERN] button to make it light.
The unit enters pattern mode, and the pattern name and number appears on the display.
2. Press the [1]–[16] buttons to select a pattern.
Hold down the [PAGE/TIE] button and press the [1]–[8] buttons to switch between banks.
For details, refer to “
Switching Between Patterns (P.18)”.
3. Press the [START] button to play back the pattern.
The pattern toggles between playback and stop each time you press the button.
You can select the next pattern while a pattern is still playing.
The current pattern either stops playing back or the next pattern begins playing back at the next 16-step division.
While the pattern is playing back, hold down the [PATTERN] button and press the [START] button to make the pattern play
back from the beginning.
