The TD-30’s sequencer organizes music into six “parts.”
The Drum Kit part is used to record/play back what is
played on the pads. In addition, there are also backing
parts (melody, bass, backing 1, backing 2) and a
percussion part.
The collective performance of these six parts is called a
“pattern.”

Preset patterns (Pattern 1–100)
Settings in Preset patterns cannot be modied. These
patterns are provided for use in practicing or live
performances. You cannot erase nor make changes in the
performance data of a Preset pattern. Recording to them
is also not allowed.
MEMO
If you want to change, edit, or record any Preset
pattern settings, copy them to a user pattern (p. 102).
User patterns (Pattern 101–200)
These are patterns for you to use as you wish. You
can record directly from the pads or an external MIDI
keyboard in real time (p. 99). User pattern settings are
saved automatically.
