the Marker A point. When the recording reaches
Marker B, the PR-300S returns to Marker A and
repeats.
Everything recorded in previous passes is heard as
the pattern cycles, allowing you to select and add
different insuuments, slowly creating a drum
pattern by listening and recording along with it.
The most common way to do this is to start with the
Bass Drum, then add snare drum, toms, hi-hat and
so on.
(12) When you're finished, press [STOP].
If you think you can improve on the pattern, use the
Erase function to delete the recorded information
and start the process over again.
If you're satisfied with the pattern which has been
recorded and want it to continue for additional
measures, you can remove the Markers, turn off the
Repeat function and copy the pattern using the
Copy and Paste functions.
If you want to record another Rhythm pattern,
move the markers to another place, and go through
this process again.

Variations or additions to a repeated drum pattern
can be recorded on other tracks using Part 10. This
allows you to experiment and add variety to a drum
track without affecting the repeated drum pattern
recorded on the "R" track. If you make a mistake
recording the variations, you can simply erase them
and start over without affecting the repeated drum
pattern.
Once the combination of the repeated pattern and
variations are acceptable to you, you can merge the
variations onto Track "R".
