desired.
HINT: Keep in mind that if you have User Patterns in memory,
you don't have to start from scratch in creating new Patterns.
You can call up a previous User Pattern and use that as the
basis for a new Pattern. This is especially helpful in maintain-
ing musical consistency if you're creating several Sections in a
specific Style.
NOTE: Refer to the Pattern Jobs section on page 163 for
details on the Pattern jobs, which provide considerable
versatility in creating and modifying Patterns.
