Selecting a pattern

1

Press either the [LEAD], [BASS], or [RHYTHM] button to select the desired pattern group.

2

Make sure that the display shows the pattern number.

At this time, also make sure that the BPM, OCT, or TONE/TYPE indicators are not lit. If one of these indicators is lit, press the [DISPLAY] button until the indicator goes out.

3

Use the [INC] and [DEC] buttons to select a pattern.

“P” in front of the number indicates a preset pattern, “U” indicates a user pattern, and “C” indicates a pattern saved on a memory card.

You can rapidly switch between preset (P), user (U), and card (C) by holding down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [INC] or [DEC] button.

*Depending on the pattern you select, the indicator of the [LEAD], [BASS], or [RHYTHM] button will blink, and the [LOOP CTRL] button's indicator may light (Loop Control: On). This indicates that the selected pattern includes Loop Control settings (p. 53).

4

When selecting a pattern from a card, or when switching to another pattern while the current pattern plays, press the [ENTER] button to finalize your selection.

The selected pattern number will blink until you finalize it.

*This step is not necessary when selecting a preset or user pattern while the pattern is stopped.

*You cannot select a pattern from a card during playback. In this case, the display will indicate “C--”.

Pressing the [DISPLAY]

button repeatedly cycles

the indicators through the following states: dark ➔ BPM ➔ OCT ➔ TONE/ TYPE ➔ dark ➔ ... .

If you select a pattern for which Loop Control is turned on, you will not hear any sound if a loop has not been recorded in the audio looper (p. 53). Press the [LOOP CTRL] button to turn Loop Control off, and you will hear sound.

If you switch to a different pattern while the current pattern is still playing, playback will change to the newly selected pattern at the beginning of the next measure. However, the tempo of the previous pattern will be maintained.
