Chaining
patterns
together
The
Chaining
function
allows
two
or more
Patterns
to
be
chained
so
that
they
play
as one.
This is
useful
for
any
Bar
consisting
of
more
than
16
steps
(e.g..^
=
1
step
or odd
tinnes
such as 5/4
or
7/8).
®
Enter
the
Pattern
Writing
mode, and
select a
pat-
tern
group by
using
the
Pattern Group
Buttons
(A,
B,C,D).
(D
Select
the
Main
Keys
belonging to
the
first
and
last
nunnber
of
the
Patterns you
wish to
chain,
and
hold
these
down,
and without
releasing
them,
push
the
Enter
Key.
To
drop a
Pattern
from
the
Chain, hold
the rele-
vant
Main
Key
down,
and push
the Enter
Key.
NOTE
This
Chain
function,
naturally
is available
just
for
the
adjacent
Patterns.
®
Even the
whole
Pattern
group (Key 1 to
16)
can
be
chained
if desired.
®
You may
need to
change
the Scale
before
writing
the
Rhythm
Patterns so
that
they all
play
with
the
same
time
value.
»
To
play a
Chain, select
any of
the Patterns
which
belong
to
the
Chain and
the whole chain
will
play.
®
To
break a
Chain hold
down each
pattern
key
in
turn
and
