Performing Along With Drum Sounds
Now, try performing as the sound of the Rhythm’s Drum Part plays.
Since a wide variety of musical genres is provided, be sure to use a Rhythm
that best suits the song you are performing. Please refer to “Selecting a
Rhythm” (p. 28).
1. Press the [Drums] button.
The [Drums] button’s indicator lights up, and the intro begins to play.
2. When you press the [Drums] button once more, the ending is
played, and the Rhythm stops.
The [Drums] button’s indicator goes out.
Performing With Chord Parts
In addition to the Drum Parts, you can also perform with “Chord Parts” that
use bass and other sounds.
The chord progression is automatic, so feel free to play the melody any way
you like.
Furthermore, you can also stop the Chord Part during the performance and
have only the Drum Part continue playing.
1. Press the [Chord] button.
The indicators for the [Chord] and [Drums] buttons light up, and the intro
begins to play.
2. Press the [Chord] button, extinguishing the indicator.
The Chord Part sound stops, and only the Drum Part continues playing.
3. Press the [Chord] button again, getting the button’s indicator
to light.
The Chord Part sound starts playing again.
4. When you press the [Drums] button once more, the ending is
played, and the Rhythm stops.
The lights for the [Chord] button and the [Drums] button go out.
NOTE
You cannot play the
internal song and Rhythm
at the same time.
For more information on
the different Rhythm types,

Pattern List” (p. 50).
You can also specify the
chords to be played in a
Rhythm. For details, refer to
