Pattern Variations—Sections
Like the Styles, each Pattern features several Sec-
tions, allowing you to add dynamic variations to the
performance. Five Sections (A–E) are provided.
Unlike the Styles, however, Patterns do not have the
Sections dedicated to the beginning or ending of the
Song, such as Intro and Ending. All Sections A–E will
play back repeatedly until stopped manually.

This function restarts Pattern playback from the
beginning.

Press the [PATTERN] button, then rotate
the dial to select the desired Pattern.

Press the [START/STOP] button or press
any key in the Auto Accompaniment
area to start Pattern playback (page 27).

By pressing the button of the currently
