Pattern Mode REFERENCE Pattern Mode Using the sophisticated pre-programmed style data of the QS300, you can quickly and easily create complete accompaniment to play/sing along with, or to use as the basis for complete compositions. The Pattern mode lets you work with accompaniment patterns, which contain up to eight tracks of drum/ percussion parts, bass, chordal and other backing parts - all in specific music styles. These patterns can be used with the ABC (Auto Bass Chord) system to automatically re-harmonize the patterns to match the chords you specify. The QS300 features 100 Preset Patterns in a wide variety of musical styles. You can also create your own Patterns by combining individual Phrases - each of which is a single part of a Pattern (such as the drum or bass part). For this you can use the 3,093 Preset Phrases of the QS300, or record your own Phrases. Remember that the Preset and User Patterns can be used freely in song recording, letting you quickly and easily create compositions with complete and fully automatic instrumental backing.
