Selecting Patterns from the

Keyboard Pads (Pattern Set)

By using a pattern set, you can select patterns from the

keyboard pads. A pattern set is a collection of two or

more patterns, and up to 16 patterns can be assigned

in each pattern set. The assigned patterns can be called

up simply by pressing a keyboard pad.

fig.2-57

3. Press [USER] to select the user bank.

* For pattern sets, it is not possible to select the preset bank

or card bank.

4. Use [INC] [DEC] or the [VALUE] dial to select

the number.

Range: U:01ÐU:30

The selection in the display will change.

The pattern set has now been selected.

5. Press a keyboard pad, and the assigned

pattern will be called.

Even while a pattern is playing, you can call patterns

or change the pattern set.

When the [PTN SET] indicator is lit, you can also use

OCTAVE [-] [+] to select a pattern set.

Registering the Patterns to Be

Called

You are free to re-assign the patterns in each pattern

set. You may find it convenient to collect favorite pat-

terns into a pattern set, or to put frequently-used pat-

terns into a pattern set. As an example, hereÕs how to

assign pattern P:010 in a pattern set.

First select the pattern set into which you will newly

assign a pattern.

1. Select pattern P:010 (p. 19).

2. Make sure that [PTN CALL] indicator is lit.

fig.2-58 (2-56)

3. Hold down [PTN CALL], and press the key-

board pad to which you would like to

assign that pattern.

The selected pattern will be assigned to the keyboard

pad that you pressed. For example, if you wish to

assign the pattern to keyboard pad [7], use the follow-

ing procedure.

fig.2-59

A pattern can be assigned even during pattern play-

back.

* When playing back a pattern that is only one measure

long, it will sometimes be impossible to select patterns

from the keyboard pads.

Registering a variation of a pattern

If you assign a pattern with modified setup data

(patch number and mute status etc. of each part), the

pattern will be called from the pattern set in the same

state as when it was assigned. By taking advantage of

this, you can create a variety of variations based on a

single user pattern, without having to save additional

new patterns.

* Patterns that were assigned with modified settings cannot

be selected by the normal pattern select procedure.
