Styles and Patterns —
Song performances require
rhythm patterns that vary a
little for each section of the
performance (intro, fill-ins,
ending, and so on). The DR-3
features eight prepared
rhythm patterns expressing
these variations within the
songs. Eight patterns are
grouped together in what is
called a “Style.” The DR-3
features 100 pre-programmed
internal Styles (Preset Styles)
to suit a variety of musical
genres. You can also put
together your own
combinations of Patterns to
create whole new Styles (User
Styles).
NOTE
You cannot switch Patterns by
pressing the pattern pads
while the demo performance is
playing. For information about
performances which do allow
you to switch the Patterns,
refer to “Let’s Play a Style” (p.
22).
