Playing with Patterns Like a DJ! Quick Guide The Pattern playback function lets you repeatedly play various rhythm patterns, and is particularly effective in Hip-Hop, House music, etc. Try out the cool DJ-like performance features-changing keys in the left-hand area of the keyboard and rotating the Knobs for dynamic sound variations. 1 Press the [PATTERN] button, then use the dial to select the desired Pattern. The ACMP is turned on, and the keyboard is divided into the accompaniment area (page 23) and melody area. Using Retrigger function (page 46) Pressing the button of the currently playing Section restarts playback from the beginning. Holding down the button lets you loop-play only the top portion of the Section.
