Owner’s Manual

There is another way to start Pattern playback – by pressing the

note son the keyboard. Move the cursor to the keyboard icon

and press the [INC/YES] button so that the F mark appears.

In this status, press any key to start the pattern playback.

Press the [DEC/NO] button with the cursor located at the

keyboard icon to turn the F mark off.

Make sure that the [SECTION] lamp is on (press the button if

necessary), then press any of the buttons shown below to

select and play the various Sections contained in a Pattern.

Pressing the [A] - [H] buttons calls up Sections A - H and

pressing the [PRE5] - [PLG3] buttons calls up the Sections I -

P. Try out various rhythm variations by changing the Section.

nSome Sections of the Demo Pattern may have no data. Because of

this, selecting some Sections may result in no sound.

Unlike Song playback, Pattern playback continues in a loop

until the [■] (Stop) button is pressed.

You can stop the Pattern anytime during playback by

pressing the [■] (Stop) button. This pauses the Pattern at the

current position. To resume playback of the Pattern from that

point, press the [F] (Play) again.

To instantly return to the beginning of the Pattern, press the

[] (Top) button.

Selecting a Pattern is done in the same way as selecting a

Song. Refer to step #5 above.
