2. Assemble a Pattern Using Preset Phrases 3 Select a SECTION Use [Knob 2] to select the "SECTION" of the selected STYLE ("A" through "P") you want to record. For our example, select section A. Hint When assigning sections it is a good idea to do so in some kind of logical order so you can remember what's what, particularly if you're going to be switching sections in real time. Generally, the different sections within a style will be the various sections of a complete composition or dance groove. You might want to record the intro in section A, the main "verse" in section B, a fill in section C, the "chorus" in section D, and so on. An Alternative Track Selection Method When the [KEYBOARD] button indicator is out (press the [KEYBOARD] button if it is lit), the black keys on the RS7000 keyboard can be used to directly select sections "A" through "J" - note the labels above the black keys. 4 Set the Pattern's METER (if necessary) "Meter" is another term for "time signature". Since our tutorial pattern is in 4/4 time (the default), there's no need to set the meter, but when you do want to create pattern in a different meter, here's how: Press the [F1] function button so that the METER parameter on the display is highlighted. Then use [Knob 1] to select the desired meter.

For our example the pattern will be one measures long, so select "001" if LENGTH is not already set to this value. F1 F2 F3 F4 RS7000 31
