Editing a pattern
(Pattern Edit)
The process of editing the performance data of a pattern in
measure units is called Pattern Editing. By editing the
performance data in a pattern, or by combining various
patterns, you can create a completely new pattern.
* In order to perform pattern editing, you must stop the pattern.
The pattern data that you create by editing will be lost if you
simply turn off the power. If you wish to keep the pattern
that you create, you must perform the Pattern Write
operation.
