2. Assemble a Pattern Using Preset Phrases

Let's begin the "hands-on" portion of our tutorial by discovering just how easy it is to create great-
sounding grooves by selecting and combining a few of the RS7000's preset phrases. The RS7000 pro-
vides an enormous database of 5980 preset phrases ... just image the number of possible combina-
tions. Also keep in mind the fact that once you've assembled the basic pattern, there are still countless
ways in which the details can be changed to make the sound your own.
Definition: Patterns & Phrases
• Patterns
An RS7000 "pattern" is a musical segment between one and 256 measures in length and consisting of as many as 16 individual
tracks. Each "track" can be approached as a separate "part" of the pattern: e.g. a bass drum part, a cymbal part, a synthesizer bass
part, a sampled loop, etc. The patterns are further organized into "sections" and "styles". The RS7000 has memory for up to 1,024
patterns organized as 64 styles, each with 16 sections labeled "A" through "P", alphabetically.
• Phrases
Phrases are essentially pre-programmed "parts" for your patterns. The RS7000 comes with loads of preset drum and percussion
phrases. All you have to do is select a pattern track, select the phrase you want to assign to that track, then repeat for as many
tracks as you need. Of course, you can record your own phrases for use in patterns, too. Phrases can use voices from the RS7000's
internal tone generator, or samples in the RS7000's sample memory.
