Creating an original Pattern
The Pattern mode also lets you record your rhythm patterns
or riffs to the different Sections as you wish—and as the
inspiration hits—then combine the Sections into a Pattern
Chain to create a complete Song. Along with the Arpeggio
feature and Performance recording, you have a wide range
of easy-to-use tools to quickly create fully arranged,
professional sounding Songs.
Listening to the Demo Patterns
Before creating your own original pattern, you should give a
listen to some of the preset Demo Patterns. These specially
recorded Patterns cover a wide range of musical genres and
are full of great hints and ideas on how you can create and
use Patterns in your own music.

Creating a Pattern (Section A) by
using Arpeggio
In addition to creating a Pattern by recording your keyboard
performance conventionally, you can also use the powerful
Arpeggio playback features of this instrument.
Here, create data for Section A by recording Arpeggio
playback to Track 1 as the drum part, Track 2 as the guitar
part and Track 3 as the bass part.
