Are patterns the same as musical measures or bars?
Rhythm Rascal is based on the concept of a pattern or “riff”. Each pattern in Rhythm Rascal will usually corresponds to a riff on the guitar. You create a song by writing riffs (patterns), then arranging them in sequence throughout the song. A pattern may be a measure, but not necessarily. Commonly, a pattern will equate to more than one measure. For example, you can create a pattern with 8 quarter note beats, and 3 notes per beat, which effectively gives you the equivalent of 2 measures of 4/4 time with eighth-note triplets.
