The FA lets you play patterns just like when you're using a rhythm machine. In the following

A rich selection of production-ready drum sounds
Let's audition various drum sounds by switching drum kits while a rhythm pattern plays.
Notice that different drum sounds can make the same rhythm pattern feel different.
The FA contains numerous production-ready PCM drum kit sounds. Having a good selection of drum sounds is
an important aspect of coming up with creative ideas for songs.
