Pattern Set is a function that lets you assign your favorite pat-
terns to each of the sixteen step keys, and switch them at the
touch of a key.
During playback, you can successively switch patterns to per-
form a song.
By using the Select key in conjunction with this to switch pat-
tern set groups, you can register and select 16 x 4 (total of 64)
patterns.

Press the Play/Pause key to begin playback.
Hold down the Keyboard function key and press a step key to
switch to the pattern that was assigned to that step key.
By holding down the Keyboard function key and pressing a
Select key, you can switch to a different group of registered pat-
tern sets. The pattern set group will be indicated by the lower
line of the Select LEDs (red).
By holding down the Shift key and pressing the Keyboard func-
tion key, you can hold the Pattern Set function (the key will
light).
To defeat the Hold condition, press the Keyboard function key
once again (the key will go dark).
