Using the Pattern Sequencer

To edit an existing rhythm

1.Perform steps 1 through 6 under “To rehearse before editing an existing rhythm” (page E-104).

2.Perform the procedure under “To configure pattern rec settings (Rec Menu)” (page E-106).

•This step is not necessary if you want to perform operations using initial default settings or if you want to use previous settings without changing them.

3.Press the L-14 (NORMAL/FILL-IN) or L-15 (VARIATION/FILL-IN) button to select the accompaniment pattern you want to edit.

•You cannot edit the INTRO or ENDING accompaniment pattern of an existing rhythm. If you want to create a new accompaniment pattern (INTRO, ENDING, etc.) from this point, see “To create a new accompaniment pattern” (page E-109) or “To create a new rhythm from scratch” (page E-111).

4.Use the R-17 (u, i) buttons to select the instrument part you want to edit.
