Creating a Drum Track pattern
Onceyou’veconvertedthepatterninthisway ,you’ll
beabletouseitwiththedrumtrackineachmode.
TheseconvertedDrumTrackpatternsareheldin
internalmemoryevenafteryouturnoffthepower.
Thismeansyoucanmanagethemtogetherwiththe
programsandcombinations.
Preparing a user pattern
You’llfirstneedtopreparetheuserpatternthatyou
wanttoconverttoaDrumTrackpattern.
Tocreateauserpattern,youcanrealtime‐recordit(see
page 65)intheSeqP10:Pattern/RPPR–PatternEdit
page,orstep‐recordit(seepage 167oftheParameter
Guide).
Alternatively,performancedatafromatrackcanbe
importedintoapattern,meaningthatperformance
