Drum pattern
You can use the arpeggiator to play a rhythm pattern by
using "Fixed Note" with a drum program.

For this example, select the preset program Studio Standard
kit (Category: Drums).

and parameter settings.
Arpeggio Tone Mode: Set this to Fixed Note. This will cause
the tone to always sound at the specified pitch.
Fixed Note Mode: If you set this to Trigger All Tones,
playing a single note on the keyboard will sound all tones.
If you set this to Trigger As Played, the tones will be
sounded according to the notes you play on the keyboard
(see page 244).

Let's input the following rhythm pattern.

that will be sounded by that tone. For each horizontal line
(Tone) in the screen, you will specify the drumsample (note
number) of the drum kit.
Each Tone will be displayed as a small circle.
