Patterns consist of from 1 to 16 "phrases" assigned to the 16 pattern tracks. Each phrase can be thought of as a "part" of the patter: a drum part, a bass part, guitar or piano chord backing, a brass line, or any other musical part. In addition to the many preset phrases provided with the RS7000, original phrases can be recorded to create totally original patterns.

Pattern chains can be created to automatically switch styles and sections. In addition to a pattern track which contains the data for pattern switching, there is a scene/mute which allows scene and mute memories to be recalled as well as specific track mute operations, and a tempo track that allows tempo variations. Pattern chains can be converted to songs, so creating a pattern chain is a convenient way to begin producing a song. The RS7000 has memory for 20 pattern chains (01 ~ 20).
