A Song simply dictates where and when to play a certain pattern. It contains no performance data itself. A Song can also be described as a group or &#8220;chain&#8221; of patterns linked together, that play automatically from one to the other and so on. There are 100 Song locations in the DR-880.<\/p>\n<p>PATTERNS &#8211; Patterns are the building blocks of Songs. They are the small (or large) chunks of &#8220;music&#8221; that actually contain the performance of the instruments. There are 500 Preset and 500 User pattern locations in the DR-880.<\/p>\n<p>KITS &#8211; Kits (&#8220;Drum Kits&#8221;) are individual groups that contain Drum and Bass instruments with their individual settings. Kits contain the &#8220;sounds&#8221; that you hear when you play a pattern. Each kit has it&#8217;s own number and can have it&#8217;s own distinctive personality. <br \/>Similar to the idea of having an acoustic Drum set &#8211; the type of set it is, the tuning of the drums, the different cymbals it has, etc. &#8211; all make up what is referred to as a &#8220;drum kit.&#8221; Any of the Kits in the DR-880 can be customized to your liking and then saved into a User Kit location. It&#8217;s possible to change instrument volume levels and pitch, effects settings, and even more. There are 100 Preset and 100 User pattern locations in the DR-880.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Although they work together, Songs, Patterns and Kits are different from each other. This is the reason they&#8217;re utilized in three separate sections in the DR-880. Any changes that you make to a Song, Pattern or Kit must be saved in each of their respective User locations. For example, changing the volume of an instrument in a Drum Kit and then saving it to User Kit 001, will not necessarily effect User Pattern 001, nor would it effect User Song 001. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[3782],"manufacturers":[33231],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the Understanding Songs, Patterns, and Kits on the Boss DR-880. page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/understanding-songs-patterns-kits-boss-dr-880\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Understanding Songs, Patterns, and Kits on the Boss DR-880. - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The following is a description of Songs, Patterns and Drum Kits and how they are used in the DR-880: SONGS &#8211; A Song can be compared in some ways to a movie script.
