Pattern Record Mode

You can records original patterns to user pattern numbers 111 to 210. Each pattern consists of 3 tracks:
rhythm, chord, and bass (P.71). You can create patterns by real-time recording: hitting connected pads or
playing a connected MIDI keyboard, or step recording: inputting notes one after another one step at a
time. Step recording makes it possible to input rather complex beats which would be difficult to play in
real time.
