Playing a pattern

This shows you how to recall a pattern, which contains the sample playback order, and play it back.

  1. Press the [PATTERN SELECT] button.
  2. The SELECT screen appears.
  4. Pads to which patterns are assigned light up purple.
  5. Press pads [1]–[16].
  6. This plays back the pattern.
  7. When you press the other pads [1]–[16] while the pattern is playing back, this places the next pattern to play back in standby. When the currently playing pattern has finished playing, the next pattern starts playing.
  8. To stop the pattern playback, press the pad that’s playing back (pads [1]–[16]; lit white) or press the [EXIT] button.
