Chapter 3 Playing Styles (Auto Mode [AUTO])

When you perform Styles in Auto mode, the DR-3 switches the
Patterns automatically, even without the pattern pads being
pressed.
This lets you enjoy session-like performances without having to
take your hands off the guitar or other instrument you are playing.
When performing in Auto mode, the Patterns are basically played
in the following sequence. You can also press a button other than
[INTRO/START] to begin the performance from that Pattern.
