Selecting rhythms
Many exciting rhythms are stored in the memory of this instrument. First select one of the rhythm groups and then choose the
desired rhythm.
Select a rhythm
1. In the RHYTHM GROUP section, select a
rhythm group.
• For information about the METRONOME, see the follow-
ing section.
• MEMORY is the group in which you store the rhythms
you create with the COMPOSER. (Refer to page 85.)
2. Select the desired rhythm from the list on the
display.
• A list of rhythms available for each rhythm group can be
found in the separate REFERENCE GUIDE provided.
• If there is more than one page to the display, use the
PAGE buttons to move from one screen page to another.
• Because the “Classic Ballad” rhythm of the BALLAD
group does not have a drum part, no sound is produced
if you play this rhythm without the AUTO PLAY CHORD.
VARIATION
There are four variations available for each rhythm. Use the
VARIATION buttons to select the desired variation.
• Confirm that the MUSIC STYLE ARRANGER button is
off. (If it is on, press it once to turn it off.)
• The nuance of the pattern differs with each variation
number.
• You can change to a different variation while the rhythm
is playing.
