Creating A Pattern - Yamaha MO6 Owner's Manual

Creating a Pattern

Creating a Pattern
When you create a Song, one of the most essential aspects is the rhythm. It is almost always the first thing you start with, and
provides a foundation for the rest of the music. The Pattern mode gives you the tools to create rhythm patterns for the
accompaniment of the Song. Here, in brief, are the basic steps in using Patterns to create a Song:
1) In the Pattern mode, create and chain together the phrases that will be used for the accompaniment and the Song.
2) Convert the Pattern data to a Song.
The following three methods can be used to create a Pattern.
• Creating a Pattern by Preset Phrases and Arpeggio
• Creating a Pattern by User Phrases
• Creating a Pattern with Realtime and Step recording
CAUTION
The created Song and Pattern data resides temporarily in DRAM (page 150). Because data contained in DRAM is lost when the power is turned off, you
should always store any data residing in DRAM to a USB storage device before turning off the power.
