Assigning a pre-programmed Phrase to a Pattern track
The Pattern mode also has a versatile Patch function that lets you assign pre-programmed one-track rhythm "Phrases" to each
track. Use the special preset Phrases already in internal memory, or create your own User Phrases — by recording, or loading
Pattern data from the included CD-ROM (Sound Library for MOTIF ES6/MOTIF ES7/MOTIF ES8). Use the Assigning Phrases
function to assemble your original Patterns, with up to 16 tracks.
