PATTERNS — THE STYLE MODE
The BPM (Tempo) of song (and pattern) playback
can be adjusted over a range of 32 - 280 bpm
(beats per minute). For instructions on changing
the BPM (Tempo), see page 41.
Each style has been given a default or standard BPM
(Tempo). (For instructions on restoring the default BPM,
see page 42.) When pattern playback is stopped and a
different style is selected, the BPM returns to the default
setting of the new style. When switching styles during
playback, the last BPM setting is maintained. (This allows
you to keep the same BPM, even when changing styles.)
While the pattern is playing, you can add variation by pressing one of the
BEAT A/B (BREAK OUT) buttons. This automatically plays one of four Break
Out sections, and smoothly leads into the next section — even if it is the
same section.
Each style has four different Break Out sections that play in the following
conditions:
• Beat A
→
Beat A (Break Out “AA”)
• Beat A
→
Beat B (Break Out “AB”)
• Beat B
→
Beat A (Break Out “BA”)
• Beat B
→
Beat B (Break Out “BB”)
This function can also
be controlled by using a
connected footswitch.
(See page 21.)

PATTERN SECTIONS (BEAT A, BEAT B AND BREAK OUTS)
If you press the BEAT A or B
button, the Break Out will
begin immediately, and the
newly selected section (A or
B) will actually begin
playing from the top of the
next measure, unless the
BEAT A or B button is
pressed during the last beat
of the measure — in which
case the Break Out will
begin from the first beat of
the next measure.
