Understanding patterns
What’s a pattern?
A pattern is a set of data that contains the order in which the samples should be played back.
Use the pattern sequencer to record patterns.
On the P-6, the following data is managed as a “pattern”.
- Performance data using the pattern sequencer (Recording what you play using the pattern sequencer)
- Pattern volume (Volume)
- Pattern transposition (Transpose)
- Length of each step in the pattern (Pattern Scale)
- Mute settings for each sample pad and the [GRANULAR] pad (Muting a sample)
- Quantize settings for each sample pad (Play Quantize)
- Sound parameters for the [GRANULAR] pad
- [A´] (DELAY/REVERB) button parameters (DELAY/REVERB settings; when Global Delay/Reverb SW is off )
- Pattern tempo (Setting the tempo)
The patterns are arranged in banks (1–4) and numbers (1–16), for a total of 64 patterns.
This unit contains the following data when shipped from the factory.
