Loop recording makes it so much easier to record drum and percussion parts. This became very popular as most drum machine purchasers where not drummers, and therefore needed multiple passes to complete a complete sounding drum pattern. That is, you have a set number of measures that will automatically loop and allow you add data on each pass. (You are not limited to just drums, however). Pattern mode itself is designed around how old-style drum machines worked. You may opt to use PATTERN mode for drum track creation. You can use the arpeggiator or the MOXF6/MOXF8 PATTERN mode to create specific drum measures to finalize a complete drum performance. It is extremely useful when you want to play along with drums as opposed to just the click of the metronome. The SONG LOOP function is here as a 'workingtool' and you will probably finalize a complete drum track before completing the SONG. The drummer will loop forever paying no attention to the song form. This looped drum groove is taking the place of the metronome and is by no stretch of the imagination useful as your finished drum track (no more than letting a metronome tick away during your song would be). The reason is it will not do anything but repeat – it has no instructions other than that. This is designed simply and specifically for working out ideas. The loop can be set to start at measure 001 and continue though any particular point in the composition.
