Playing with Pattern Set

What is Pattern Set?

Pattern Set is a function that lets you register a favorite pattern to each of the sixteen step keys, and use the
step keys to switch patterns. You can use this function to play a performance simply by selecting patterns
one after the other

When you hold down the Pattern Set key (the key will blink) and press
one of the sixteen step keys, the pattern registered for that key will be
selected. At this time you can use the Select keys to change the pattern
set group indicated by the red select LEDs (lower line) 1...4, to use 16 x 4
(total of 64) pattern sets.

If during playback you hold down the Pattern Set key and press another
step key, the pattern registered for that key will begin playing when the
currently-playing pattern finishes playing. (Refer to p.31 "Pattern Set.")

If you hold down the Shift key and press the Pattern Set key, the Pattern
Set function will be held. (The Pattern Set key will blink.)
To defeat this "hold" condition, press the Pattern Set key once again.

You can register new pattern sets. (Refer to p.31, "Registering a pattern
for Pattern Set.")

If you switch patterns during playback, the change will occur when
each pattern finishes playing. (Refer to p.22 "The timing at which
patterns will changed.")

Using the ER-1 as a tone generator module

MIDI IN connector of the 

ER-1

LEDs indicate 

Note No

p.42 "About MIDI."

If you wish to save the settings of MIDI mode or Glo-

ther of these modes. (Refer to p.39 "Saving the set-
tings you modify in Global mode ," or p.41 "Saving the
