•You can also switch patches during rhythm pattern playback.
•You can also play a rhythm pattern in the bypass/mute condition and in the edit mode, but the parameter knobs cannot be used to control the rhythm pattern in this case.
•The rhythm pattern type, tempo, and volume settings revert to the default condition when the unit is turned off and on again.
•You can also use the TYPE [W]/[Q] keys to change the pattern type.
