The DR-3 has a huge variety of different styles. Each style contains eight rhythm patterns; Intro, Fill-In A, Verse A, Fill-In B, Verse B, Fill-In C, Verse C and Ending. Use the following procedure to play patterns manually:

1. With playback stopped, press MANU so it’s lit to enter Manual mode.

2. Turn the VALUE dial to scroll through and select one of the preset styles.

3. Press INTRO/START to start playback.

4. Press the desired pattern’s pad to play the pattern.

• When you press VERSE A, VERSE B or VERSE C, the pattern for the pad you’ve pressed starts playing as soon as the pattern that’s currently playing is done.

• When you press FILL A, FILL B or FILL C, the fill-in plays as soon as the currently playing pattern is done, followed by the fill’s corresponding verse pattern.

Note: After Fill-In A plays, Verse A plays. After Fill-In B, Verse B plays, and after Fill-In C, Verse C plays.

5. To stop playback, press ENDING/STOP—at the end of the current pattern, the Ending pattern plays and playback stops.
