The RhythmTrak
•••
234 switches to pattern mode and the number
of the currently selected pattern is shown on the [SONG/PATTERN]
display. 01 - 99 indicates a user pattern, and P01 - P99 a preset
pattern. The [VALUE] display shows the current position in the
pattern (measure/beat). If an empty user pattern was selected, the
[VALUE] display shows "----".
In pattern mode, the [UP/DOWN] keys serve to switch the pattern.
You can also hold the [PATTERN] key down and use the [SOUND
JAMMER] slider to select a pattern.
The [START] key LED lights up, and the pattern is played
repeatedly. The [TEMPO] key LED flashes according to the tempo
of the pattern. The [VALUE] display shows the current position in
the pattern (measure/beat).
Pressing the [VALUE UP] key during pattern playback turns off the
sound of tracks other than the currently selected track (whose
[KIT/TRACK SELECT] LED is lit). Pressing the [VALUE DOWN] key
turns off the sound of the currently selected track.
Pressing the [START] key instead of the [STOP] key sets the unit to
pause mode. The [START] key LED flashes. Pressing the [START]
key again in this condition resumes playback.
