The category, beat, and type of the selected phrase are listed in full on the display.

The difference between the “General” and “Specific” types is that while the General phrases are, as their name implies, for general use, the Specific phrases are actually parts of specific patterns. In other words, if you combine specific phrases of the same beat and number from different categories, you will end up with a specific pattern.

Combining Phrases In the Pattern Mode

The phrases are combined to create patterns which can be used in accompaniments in the PATTERN mode.

Select the PATTERN Mode, a Style, & a Section

As in the SONG mode, empty patterns are indicated by a row of asterisks (********) to the right of the style number. Also move the cursor to the section name and select the section you want to create.
