Sequencer patterns and Drum Track patterns
Preset patterns are directly available for use as Drum Track
patterns.
User patterns can also be used with the Drum Track, but they
must first be converted into user Drum Track patterns (via
the Convert to Drum Track Pattern menu command on
P5: Pattern/RPPR).
When you convert a user pattern, it will be stored in internal
memory, and will not disappear even when you turn off the
power.
Sequencer mode page structure
For details on how to access each mode and page, see “Basic
operations” on page 17.
You can sample from within Sequencer mode—including
resampling the Song itself. For more information, see
“Sampling in Program and Combination modes” on
page 156.
You can also mix in live audio inputs, and process them
through effects. For more information, see “Using effects
with the audio inputs” on page 219.
Set Lists
Songs can also be selected in Set Lists, along with Programs
and Combinations. For more information, see “Set Lists” on
page 119.
