Playing Patterns

Basic Procedure for Playing a Pattern1.Go to the Pattern Play screen (p. 15).

The upper line of the screen shows the BPM (tempo) and number of measures in the pattern.

The lower line of the screen shows the number of the currently selected pad bank.

When the SP-606 is shipped from the factory, patterns 1–40 contain preloaded pattern data.

3.Press [ ] (Play) to begin playback.

If you turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to select another pattern while a pattern is playing, the name of that pattern will appear in the lower line, and will be reserved as the next-played pattern. When the currently playing pattern has played to the end, the reserved pattern will automatically begin playing.

If the pattern number indication shown in the lower line is not highlighted, the SP-606 is already preparing to switch to the next pattern, so you will not be able to reserve the next pattern.
