- Hold SHIFT and SONG to confirm you're in Pattern mode.
If "Cancel Edit ?" shows in the display, press EXIT. - Press EDIT.
- Use the CURSOR <> buttons to select "PATTERN."
- Press ENTER.
- Use the CURSOR <> buttons to select "WRITE."
- Press ENTER.
- Turn the VALUE dial to select a desired user pattern location (U001-U500).
- Press ENTER.
"Now writing" appears in the display while the pattern is being stored. - When the writing process is complete, press EXIT twice.
