Playing a Pattern by Striking a Pad
(Pad Pattern) (PATTERN)
The Pad Pattern function starts playback of a pattern
when a pad is struck. This function provides a
very convenient way to use patterns during a live
performance.
If dierent patterns have been assigned to two or more
pads, striking another pad while a pattern is playing
back will cause pattern playback to switch to the newly
selected pattern.
* The performance of a pattern played back by the
pad pattern function cannot be recorded into the
sequencer.

playing or have the two
sounds layered.

The previous sound
stops while in progress,
and the subsequent
sound (pattern) starts
playing.

The previous sound
continues to play to the
end, while the subsequent
sound (pattern) is
superimposed on it.
