The TD-10’s sequencer consists of four parts (like 4 tracks).
The Drum part is used to record/ play back performance
from the pads or an external MIDI controller. There are three
other parts for melodic instruments: Part 1, Part 2 and the
Bass part.
A set of performances for each of these four parameters is
collectively referred to as a pattern.
The Preset patterns (1–50) contain pre-recorded perfor-
mances for each part and can be used for listening, or as a
practice/performance tool. Preset patterns cannot be erased
(p. 104) or recorded over. The User patterns (51–100) can be
used for recording. In order to record melodic instruments
on Part 1, Part 2 and the Bass part, you will need to use an
external MIDI keyboard. Recording the Drum part can be
done from the pads or an external MIDI controller.

Using Preset Patterns
It is not possible to modify the settings of a preset pattern. If
you attempt to modify the settings when a preset pattern is
selected, the following display will appear.

Although the settings can be modified temporarily, the origi-
nal settings will return when you select another pattern. If
you wish to modify the settings of a preset pattern, you must
