Adding Patterns to your Song — Insert Pattern
Naturally, you can add Patterns to your existing Songs — by using the Insert Pattern function. This puts a
new Pattern in the Song at the measure you specify.
It doesn't matter whether you're in the Song mode or the Song Edit mode — you can insert a Pattern from
either.
1 First, select the measure you want to insert the Pattern to, by holding
[SHIFT] and using the [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons.
2 Call up the Insert Pattern function.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [10] (INS/DEL PTN). You may have to press
the button more than once to call up the "inS" (Insert Pattern) display.
3 Next, select the Pattern you want to add to your Song.
Use the DATA knob.
4 Insert the selected Pattern.
The [10] button should be flashing. Press it once again (the button stops flashing and stays lit). At the
"Y£n" ("Yes or no?") prompt, press it a third time to actually insert the Pattern to the selected measure,
or press [EXIT] to cancel.
Take a look at the illustration below and see what happens when you insert a Pattern.

Don't forget to store your newly edited Song, or you'll lose any edits you've made once you turn the power
off or select another Song or Pattern.
• Replacing a Pattern
If you want to replace a Pattern — in other words, erasing one and putting a new one in its
place — you'll need to use Delete Pattern (page 88) to delete the Pattern first. Then, use
Insert Pattern to put the new one in.

Insert Pattern
Allows you insert a Pattern to any measure
within an existing Song. All subsequent Pat-
terns/measures are displaced.
With Song (or Song Edit) mode active, hold
[SHIFT] and use [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons
to select desired measure. Hold [SHIFT] and
press [10] to call up "inS" (Insert), select
the desired Pattern number with the DATA
knob, and press [10] twice to execute.
