PATTERN SELECTION
FUNCTION
Selects a Pattern for playback, writing, over-
dubbing, clearing or editing.
Currently selected Pattern number
Time signature
The RX7 can store up to 100 Patterns in memory locations
numbered 00 through 99. (The remaining Pattern memory
space can be checked with UTILITY Job #01.) A "w" on
the display next to the cursor indicates a Pattern location
already containing data. Such Patterns can be played, over-
dubbed (additional notes recorded "on top" of them), copied
or deleted (cleared).
Pattern locations without the w-mark are empty, i.e. they
contain no data yet. Select such numbers when you want to
create (write) a new Pattern.
