Pattern Playing
When
you
intend
to
write
a
complete
Track from
a
group of
Patterns, you
may want
to listen carefully
to
your
patterns either separately or in
sequence.
It
is a good idea to
write your Patterns roughly
in the
order you will use them, though
you
will often
go
back
to
re-use previous Patterns,
