Storing Rhythm Patterns and Samples as Part of a Patch
The patches of the 707II can contain not only information about effect type and parameter settings but also about rhythm patterns and samples stored on a SmartMedia card. Using this capability, you can quickly switch rhythm patterns on the fly, or you can have the same sample play every time you call up a certain patch.
