Creating Drum Track patterns
TocreateaDrumTrackpattern,you’llusethe
SequencermodeP10:Pattern/RPPR–PatternEditpage
toconvertauserpatternintoauser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
