Parentheses such as (P7) indicate the KRONOS page used for editing.
Patterns always contain only a single track of musical
data. If you want to use patterns on multiple tracks,
you’ll need to use a separate pattern for each track.
To use patterns in a Song, either place them in a MIDI
track using the Put to MIDI Track menu command, or
copy them using the Copy to MIDI Track menu
command.
You can also use patterns with the RPPR. For more
information, see “Using RPPR (Realtime Pattern
Play/Record)” on page 106.
Sequencer patterns and Drum Track patterns
Preset patterns are directly available for use as Drum
Track patterns.
User patterns can also be used with the Drum Track,
but they must first be converted into user Drum Track
patterns (via the Convert to Drum Track Pattern menu
command on P5: Pattern/RPPR).
When you convert a user pattern, it will be stored in
internal memory, and will not disappear even when
you turn off the power.
