Chapter 2 Playing Styles (Manual Mode [MANU])
The DR-3 features 100 pre-programmed internal Styles in a
variety of musical genres. You can perform by selecting the Styles
and switching the Patterns in “Manual mode.”
■ How the Pads Work When Performing Styles
fig.02-01p
The DR-3’s pads can be switched between two modes of
operation, [ ] and [INST] (p. 37).
Patterns are switched with the pads when [ ] is lit.
When switching Patterns and performing Styles in Manual mode,
be sure to confirm that [ ] is lit.
Selecting Styles
Use this procedure to select the Styles to be performed.
1.
With the performance stopped, press [MANU] so the button
lights up.

2.
Turn the VALUE dial to select a Style.
Style numbers for the Preset Styles (internal Styles) are preceded
by a “P”; Style numbers for the User Styles (p. 61) are preceded by
a “U.”
For more on “Auto mode,” in
which the Patterns are selected
automatically, refer to
“Chapter 3 Playing Styles
(Auto Mode [AUTO])” (p. 46).
For more on creating Styles,
refer to “Chapter 7 Creating
Styles” (p. 61).
Pattern Pad
Lit
When [INST] is lit, drum and
bass sounds are played with
the pads while the patterns are
in progress.
For more information on
[INST], refer to “Chapter 6
Performing with the Pads” (p.
58).
If you switch the style during
its performance, a “ ” mark
appears in front of the style
name which will be played
next.
The style switches after the
currently playing pattern ends,
and the “ ” mark disappears.
“Preset Style List” (p. 116)
Depending on its settings,
there may be some delay for
the TSC (p. 51) to change, if the
style is switched while it is
being performed.
