Playing Rhythm Patterns

A rhythm pattern is a fixed phrase played by rhythm instruments such as drums or percussion. The XPS-30 can play back rhythm patterns assigned to pads [1]–[8] while you use 

the keyboard to perform along with the rhythm patterns.

A rhythm pattern consists of eight “variations,” and the eight variations are collective called a “rhythm pattern group.”

When you select a rhythm pattern group, the variations are automatically assigned to pads [1]–[8].
