Playing with Pattern Set

What is Pattern Set?

Pattern Set is a function that lets you register a favorite pattern to each of the sixteen step keys, and use the step keys to switch patterns. You can use this function to play a performance simply by selecting patterns one after the other

When you hold down the Pattern Set key (the key will blink) and press Pattern Set 1

one of the sixteen step keys, the pattern registered for that key will be selected. At this time you can use the Select keys to change the pattern set group indicated by the red select LEDs (lower line) 1...4, to use 16 x 4

(total of 64) pattern sets.

If during playback you hold down the Pattern Set key and press another step key, the pattern registered for that key will begin playing when the currently-playing pattern finishes playing. (p.46 "Pattern Set.")

If you hold down the Shift key and press the Pattern Set key, the Pattern Set function will be held. (The Pattern Set key will blink.)

To defeat this "hold" condition, press the Pattern Set key once again.

You can register new pattern sets. (p.46, "Registering a pattern for Pat- tern Set.")

Pattern Set 3

Hold down the Shift key

and press the Pattern Set key to hold the Pattern Set function.

(Quick Start)

If you switch patterns during playback, the change will occur when

each pattern finishes playing. (p.33 "The timing at which patterns will changed.")
