Roland TR-626 - C.chaining Rhythm Patterns

Applications
c. Chaining rhythm patterns
Step
Step 2
Step 3
The chaining function permits two or more rhythm patterns to be
chained together so that they are played as one pattern. This function
is very useful when one bar has thirty-two sleps or when the
rhythm is variable or unusual, such as in quintuple time. The chained
patterns are treated as one bar in track writing.
Check that the TR- 626 is not playing.
Select the pattern group that contains the rhythm pattern-s you would
like to link with the Pattern Group Keys (D, E, and F).
While pressing the Main Keys ( 1 to 16) of the first and the last
pattern number that you want to join together, push the Enter Key.
Only patterns having adjacent numbers can be chained.

If you later want to break the chain, press the Enter Key while
pressing the pattern number where you would like to separate the
chain.
* After a chain is split, two smaller chains will be formed in each half,
if there are two or more patterns in each resulting half. For example,
if pattern numbers 1 to 5 were in a chain and the chain was separated
at number 3, numbers 1 and 2, 4 and 5 would then be left in two small
chains and number 3 would be independent of both of the new small
chains.
