Prepare for recording—Multitrack recording
Using the rhythm guide
When you record, it is convenient to use the built-in rhythm guide. If you record
along with the rhythm guide, you will be able to use various convenient functions
such as track editing in units of measures, or synchronizing the performance with
external devices.
When the rhythm guide is used in conjunction with the tempo map, you can change
the tempo or rhythm pattern during the song. The rhythm guide can also be used as
a metronome when you are not recording.
Playing/stopping the rhythm guide
Each time you press [RHYTHM GUIDE [ON/OFF], the setting will cycle in the order
of auto (blinking) → on (lit) → off (extinguished).
Blinking: The rhythm will sound according to whether the song is playing or
stopped.
Lit: The rhythm will sound regardless of whether the song is playing.
Dark: The rhythm will be stopped.
