8: Recording Original Patterns
The QR10 provides two types of patterns that you can program yourself and then use in songs in the same way
as the preset patterns:
• 50 through 59 are “user” patterns that you can program from scratch.
• 60 through 99 are “combination” patterns that can easily be “assembled” by combining parts from
different preset or user patterns.

Recording the Combination Patterns

The QR10’s combination patterns — pattern numbers 60 through 99 — make it easy to create new patterns by simply
combining different tracks from different patterns. You could, for example, combine a rock rhythm track with a jazz bass track
and chord tracks from, say, one country and one Latin pattern. This makes it possible to create a virtually unlimited range of
new sounds without the need for complicated programming procedures. Here’s how:
1Select the PATTERN Mode
If the pattern mode is not already selected, press the [PATTERN/SONG] key to select it.
2Select a Combination Pattern
Press the [PATTERN SELECT] key and use
the [–1] and [+1] keys or the number keys to select a
pattern number between 60 and 99 (the COMBINA-
TION patterns).
3Select a Section
The six sections for each combination patterns
can be recorded separately. Use the section keys to
select the section you want to record.
DETAIL
The [INTRO/ENDING] key
alternately selects the INTRO and
ENDING sections.
4Engage the Record Ready Mode
Press the [RECORD] key to engage the record
ready mode. The [RECORD] key indicator will
light.
5Start Recording
Press the [START/STOP] key to start recording.
DETAIL
The combination patterns
initially contain the same data as the
first 40 preset patterns, so you’ll
hear the corresponding pattern when
you start recording.
