Assigning various settings related to
Pattern playback (Pattern Scene)
From the Pattern Play display, you can assign five different
"snapshots" of important Pattern-related parameters such
as transpose, tempo, track mute/solo status, and the basic
Mixing setup to the [SF1] – [SF5] buttons as Pattern
Scenes. One of the convenient advantages of Pattern
Scene is that it lets you instantly and automatically execute
parameter settings that normally require many button
presses or controller operations. Use it during Pattern
recording or playback to make instantaneous setting
changes. Pattern Scene parameters are same as the ones
of Song Scene. See page 137.
Registering the Pattern Scene
After making the desired settings for the Scene,
simultaneously hold down the [STORE] button and press
one of the [SF1] to [SF5] buttons. The 8th note icon is shown
in the tab corresponding to the Sub Function button to which
the Pattern Scene is registered. Press the [STORE] button to
store the Pattern data including the Pattern Scene setting.
NOTICE
The Pattern Scene settings registered to the [SF1] – [SF5] buttons
will be lost if you change the Pattern or turn the power off without
executing the Store operation.
Recalling the Pattern Scene
You can recall the Pattern Scene by press one of the [SF1]
to [SF5] buttons.
Pattern Chain Playback
The Pattern Chain function lets you program Sections in
your own custom order, and have them change
automatically during playback to create a seamless
sequence of backing parts and accompaniment for your
live performance or recorded Song. The Chain Play display
(page 171) is the 'portal' for entering the Pattern Chain
function and lets you play back the programmed Pattern
Chain. Press the [F5] Chain button from the Pattern Play
mode to go to the Pattern Chain Play display.
Pattern Chains can be created from the Chain Record
display (page 172) and the Insert function (page 174) on
the Chain Edit display. Pattern Chains can be edited in the
Chain Edit display (page 173).
