Pattern Set

What is Pattern Set?

Pattern Set is a function that lets you assign a favorite pattern to
each of the sixteen step keys, and select these patterns by pressing
the appropriate key. This gives you an easy way to switch between
favorite patterns while performing. There are eight Pattern Groups,
and each one can hold sixteen of your favorite patterns. You can
also use the Chain Play function with Pattern Set to play your favor-
ite patterns as a loop.
You can assign any pattern you choose to the pattern set (☞p.63
“Assigning a pattern in the pattern set”).

You cannot use Pattern Set in Song mode.

If you switch patterns during playback, the change will occur at the

end of the currently-playing pattern (

☞

p.20 “About the timing at which

patterns will change”).

Performing with a Pattern Set

When you use Pattern Set Play, operations such as the timing at which
patterns change, tempo adjustments, and Reset & Play will function
in the same way as in Pattern Play mode.

Press the PLAY/PAUSE key to begin playback.

By holding down the Pattern Set key and pressing a step key, you
can select the pattern that is assigned to that step key.
By holding down the Pattern Set key and using the [

][

] select

keys, you can switch to a different pattern set group. One of the
lower row of select LEDs will light (red) to indicate the current pat-
tern set group.
By holding down the shift key and pressing the Pattern Set key, you
can “hold” the Pattern Set function (the key will blink). To defeat
the “held” state, press the Pattern Set key once again (the key will
go dark).

You cannot use Pattern Set while recording. Pattern Set will be de-

feated when you enter record (or record-ready) mode.

While the Pattern Set key is blinking, the step keys are used to con-

trol the Pattern Set function; this means that the Keyboard function

will not be available.

Using Chain Play with Pattern Set

This function lets you select the starting and ending pattern of the pattern set, and
play these patterns as a loop. With the Pattern Set function in the “hold” state,
press two step keys to specify a starting pattern and an ending pattern.
For example if patterns are assigned to the step keys as shown in the following
table, you would use the procedure described below to loop the playback in the
order of patterns A01, A20, B03, B04, and A51. (A01 is step key 1 and A51 is step
key 5 of group 1.)
