Pattern Playing
When
you intend to write
a
complete Track from
a
group
of Patterns, you
may
want
to
listen
carefully
to
your
patterns
either
separately or
in
sequence.
It
is
a
good
idea
to write
your
Patterns
roughly
in
the
order
you
will
use
them, though you
will
often go
back
to re-use previous Patterns,
