Creating Drum and Bass Patterns Simply and Easily (EZ Compose)
What is EZ Compose?
“EZ Compose” is a group of functions that lets you create a
pattern simply by making a few settings in the screen-you
don’t have to input each individual note of the rhythm. You
can also add a chord progression and fill-ins.

Using EZ Compose
Creating a pattern
EZ Compose lets you select a favorite pattern for each group
of sounds, and combine them to create your new pattern.
EZ Compose creates patterns with a time signature of 4/
4 or 3/4.
If the time signature of the currently selected pattern is
not one of these, it will be converted to 4/4 or 3/4.
1. Press [EZ COMPOSE].
The EZ Compose Pattern screen will appear.
