Basic Structure
■ Pattern data structure
The following illustration shows the track structure of a Pattern. Patterns are created by recording MIDI sequence data to
individual tracks, by assigning Phrases (Preset and User) which is material for a Pattern to individual tracks, and by setting tone
generator related parameters (in a Pattern Mixing).
● Pattern Mixing
Even if you record your keyboard performance to a Pattern
track, the setup data (non-note events such as voice, pan,
volume) which for proper playback should be recorded at the
top of the Pattern will not be recorded to it. For this reason, the
setup data handled as Pattern Mixing settings should be
stored in the Pattern Mixing Store mode. Unlike the Song, only
the voice number is recorded to a track as a Track Voice
(Phrase Voice) which is used for playback normally. Because
the Pattern Mixing is a collection of settings related to the tone
generator, it can be applied to the sequence data transmitted
from the external MIDI sequencer as well as this synthesizer’s
Pattern playback.
nWhen the Multi-Part Plug-in Board PLG100-XG has been installed,
Mixing of sixteen parts (17 - 32) can be set. Please note that the Multi-
Part Plug-in Part (17 - 32) settings apply not to one individual Pattern
but to all 64 Patterns.
● Section
A Pattern consists of one or more “Sections” (Pattern
variations). You can play the Pattern by specifying a Section
after selecting a Pattern.
● Phrase
This is the basic MIDI sequence data – and the smallest unit –
used in creating a Pattern. “Phrase” is a short musical/
rhythmic passage for a single instrument, such as a rhythm
pattern for the rhythm part, a bass line for the bass part, or a
chord backing for the guitar part. This synthesizer features
687 Preset Phrases, and features memory space for 256 of
your own original User Phrases.
