Pattern Play mode

Pattern mode

Creating Patterns—basic procedure
Patterns consist of the following three types of data:
• MIDI sequence data (created in the Pattern Record mode, Pattern Edit mode, and Pattern Job mode)
• Setup data (created in the Pattern Play mode)
• Mixing data (created in the Pattern Mixing mode/Mixing Edit mode and stored in the Pattern Mixing Store mode)
After creating the data in these modes described above, store the Mixing settings in the Pattern Mixing Store mode to archive it as Pattern
data and save the entire Pattern to the USB storage device in the File mode.
n
Non-note MIDI events (such as Voice number, volume, pan, and effect send level) which are necessary at the start of a Pattern are not recorded as
MIDI sequence data, but are stored instead as Mixing data.
CAUTION
Because Pattern data (MIDI sequence data, Setup data, and Mixing data) is recorded to DRAM (page 150), it will be lost when turning the power off.
Make sure to save any Pattern data created via the Record, Edit, Job, and Mixing setting to the USB storage device in the File mode before turning the
power off. For details on saving Pattern data, see page 98.

Determines whether the program change data contained in the phrase data is effective or not. For most
purposes, this should be set to "off." For example, if a phrase has embedded Voice changes (program change
messages) but you don't want the Voice to change in the middle of the phrase, set this to "off." Tracks that are
set to "off" here automatically play back with the Voice number assigned to the Part set in the Mixing mode.
