Play back a pattern by pressing specific keys (RPS)
The RPS (Realtime Phrase Sequencing) function allows you to assign a Pattern to a key on the keyboard and play it back simply by pressing the assigned key. Since different phrases can be played back by pressing different keys, this function is especially effective for live performance.
The demo disk contains a demo song “09:RPS_DEMO.SVQ (Try RPS)” that allows you to try out the RPS function. Here’s how.

Combine Patterns for playback
The included demo disk also contains various Pattern collections which you can use in various playing situations. These Pattern collections are contained in the songs numbers from 10 to 20. You may use these Pattern collections to create your own songs. The demo song DEMO_006.SVQ (RPS City) has been created using the Pattern set PTNSET11.SVQ (Trance Set).
These Pattern collections will not play back even when you press [STOP/PLAY]. By pressing specific keys, however, you can play back drum, bass or other instrument phrases. Here’s how you can play a song combining these Patterns.
