Tracks and Patterns
A track is a component of a project, and is a performance part to which a single sound is
assigned. There are three types of tracks: Drum tracks, Synth tracks (SYNTH 1, SYNTH 2, and
DX), and SAMPLER track. For details on each type of track, see “
A pattern is a phrase that is played in a loop. You can play the same phrase repeatedly or
switch between them at any time you like. The patterns on the 11 tracks will continue to play
along with
each other until the project is stopped.
5.1 Switching Patterns
You can switch patterns by turning a Track knob or pressing a Drum key. The timing can be
set so that the pattern switches immediately or at a fixed cycle (Launch Quantize) from the
start of playback (reserved switching). The default setting for Launch Quantize for reserved
switching is a 16-step cycle from the start of playback.
