Forget what I said about setting channel assign to MultiA or MultiB.

Instead, here are the steps I used to record the beats riff to a 
pattern. (I used T01 to record the note data, with Triggers from the 
Basic Channel and Beats on Channel 16B. There are probably many otehr 
ways to do this; this is just the one I used.)

A. SETUP WIRING [hardwiring and softwiring]:
1. Hardwiring: MIDI B OUT to MIDI IN.

2. Softwiring: Set MIDI IN CHANNELS 1 to 16: to A.
(MIDI menu systen)

B. SETUP PERFORMANCE FUNCTIONS:
1. Set TRIGGER BUTTONS FUNCTION to Play Beats Parts.
(Controller menu system)

2. Set RECHANNELIZE INPUT to Off. {not sure if this makes a difference)
(MIDI menu system)

3. Set ARP/RIFF MIDI OUT to Transmit Riffs
(Arp menu system)

4. Set BtsCh to 16B; Set TrigCh to Basic
(BEATS MODE menu in Arp menu system)

5. Set C16B to the bts.preset of my choice.

6. Set buttons to Triggers.

C. SETUP SEQU#ENCER FUNCTIONS:
1. I used metronome on with 2 measure count.

2. For track 1 [T01] I set channel assign to 16B/internal.

I then started recording. After the count I started playing the 
triggers.  When I was done with my 8 measure test, the pattern had the 
notes corresponding to the bts.preset on T01 assigned to C16B.

(Hope this works; hope I jotted down all the steps right. Remember, 
other settings will probably work, too.)
