Playing/Recording Patterns (PATTERN SEQUENCER)

The pattern sequencer is a function that lets you record your keyboard performance 

and knob movements, and then play them back repeatedly. The recorded data is 

called a “pattern,” and you can record and save patterns of up to eight measures.

A pattern consists of tracks 1–8, and recording occurs on the currently selected 

track.

The patterns are organized into 32 preset patterns (PRST) and 128 user patterns 

(USER), and are saved in a “pattern bank.”
