208 Chapter 5. PATTERN MODE

1. Move the cursor to an appropriate space in the matrix
area.
2. Press n/y or rotate the data dial to cause a phrase
number to appear.
3. Move the cursor to each of the fields of the phrase
number (instrument category, beat value, and sequen-
tial number) in turn. For each field, select the appro-
priate value using the data dial, n/y, or the nu-
meric keypad.
Phrase numbers for user phrases do not include a beat value.
You can record new user phrases using the Phrase Record-
ing submode. ( p.247)
5 (Rest)
You use this function to enter a rest into the cursor-selected
space on the matrix.
The rest causes any phrase that is already playing on that
track to stop, so that the track becomes silent. The track
remains silent until the next phrase entry appears.
6 (Clear)
Use this function to delete any entry (phrase or rest) from
the matrix. Simply move the cursor to the entry, and then
press 6 (Clear).
4 (PhrSolo)
The “phrase-solo” feature lets you play a single phrase re-
peatedly. Just move the cursor to the phrase you want to
hear, and then press 4 (PhrSolo). All other phrases
immediately stop playing, and the selected phrase plays re-
peatedly.
While this feature remains selected, you can switch play
from one phrase to another by moving the cursor. Phrase-
solo operation continues in effect until you press 4
(PhrSolo) once again to switch it off.
Once you have moved into phrase-solo operation, you can
press 6 (PhrTable) ( p.209) to access the phrase
table for the selected phrase. This table shows the various
internal settings for the phrase, as described immediately
below.
