Rhythm Pattern Program
The Rhythm Pattern Program works with the Keyboard Percussion
feature to let you use any of 75 different percussion sounds in
creating your own rhythms. Up to 16 separate rhythm “tracks”
are provided in a single pattern for each instrument part, and up
to 40 patterns—eight User numbers, each with five variations—
can be memorized.
