Rhythm pattern group
A rhythm pattern is a phrase that’s played with rhythm instruments such as drums or
percussion. With this instrument, you can play the keyboard along with the rhythm
patterns that are assigned to pads [1]–[8].
Each rhythm pattern has eight variations, and these eight variations make up a single
“rhythm pattern group”.
When you select a rhythm pattern group, the variations are automatically assigned to
pads [1]–[8].
Also, the drum sound that plays in a rhythm pattern is called a “drum kit”.
The drum kit selected in part R of the current scene is used for the rhythm pattern.
