A new pattern number can be selected even

the new pattern will begin playing once the pre-
vious pattern has finished. During playback both
the current pattern number and the “next” pat-
tern number are shown on the display.
A small letter “w” appearing to the right of
the pattern number indicates that the pattern
contains data. Pattern numbers with no “w” are
blank or have been cleared using the PATTERN
CLEAR function described next.
