Hi Dreamer,
The Pa1xpro did, and I have no reason to doubt the PA2x is the same, certainly seems so from the data so far..For each variation(1 thru 4) you get 2 fills + a break pattern, so yes I suppose you could say there are 8, but remember 2 per variation, not 8 per variation, and that imho is more than enough for anyone!!! I found with the pa1x that i would use maybe 1 fill and a break for a song, very rarely did I use 2 or more.
