About the Pattern Sequencer
You can use the pattern sequencer to create accompaniment
patterns that sound while using the Digital Keyboard's Auto
Accompaniment function and store them as user rhythms.
Rhythms, Accompaniment Patterns, and
Instrument Parts
Each of the Digital Keyboard's rhythms provides six different
accompaniment patterns named INTRO, NORMAL, NORMAL
FILL-IN, VARIATION, VARIATION FILL-IN, and ENDING.
Each accompaniment pattern can be made up of eight
instrument parts (drums, percussion, bass, and chord 1
through chord 5).
The overall configuration of a single rhythm is as shown
below.

The pattern sequencer is a function that allows editing and
creation of the various accompaniment patterns that make up
a single rhythm, part-by-part. You can record each part of all
of the accompaniment patterns from scratch to create a
completely original new rhythm. You also can partially edit an
existing rhythm (by, for example, editing only one of the parts
of an accompaniment pattern) or simply modify its mixer
settings if you want.

Recordable Data
You can use the pattern sequencer to record keyboard play
(note data), PITCH BEND wheel (S-1) operations, and S-2
(MODULATION) button operations.
Instrument Part Editing and Rec Areas
As a general rule, pattern sequencer editing operations are
performed on an instrument part basis. The pattern sequencer
maintains special memory areas called "rec areas" for each
instrument part during rhythm editing. These areas are used
when recording keyboard notes.
When editing with the pattern sequencer, there may be
previously existing rhythm data remaining for some of the
instrument parts, which will make it impossible to use the rec
areas. The status of an instrument part that still contains
previously existing rhythm data is "Fix Data".
You can use the pattern sequencer screen to check whether
the currently selected instrument part is in the rec area or if it
is "Fix Data".
You can display the pattern sequencer screen by pressing the
C-4 (PATTERN SEQUENCER) button. This will display the
pattern sequencer editing screen for the currently selected
rhythm (preset rhythm or previously stored user rhythm). The
initial screen shows the drum part of the NORMAL
accompaniment pattern of the rhythm being edited. Note "Fix
Data" in the lower left corner. This is the current status of the
currently displayed instrument part.
