Creating patterns
New patterns are created by simply changing the settings of
the pattern that is currently selected. A total of 999 measures
worth of patterns can be created. After changing the settings,
the new pattern can then be saved as a user pattern or song
pattern.
When editing a preset pattern in order to create a new pattern
(p. 63), you can have the rhythm pattern stop at the end of the
song by clearing the step after the BREAK in which V1 (verse)
is set (p. 64).
