Recording Arpeggio playback to a
Pattern
If you record your keyboard playing along with Arpeggio
playback in the Performance mode to a Pattern, you can
quickly create full and complete rhythm patterns lasting just
a few measures. These short patterns of MIDI sequence
data can be played back repeatedly in a loop and then
conveniently used as 'building blocks' for your original
Songs.
Follow the instructions below, playing with your favorite
Arpeggios in the Performance mode, and record your
improvisations to a Pattern. Once you've recorded three or
four good Patterns, you'll have enough building blocks to
create a complete Song!
