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.
