Custom Rhythm
BCancel Instruments & Correct Mistakes as Required .........................................................................
Although you can cancel all instruments in a pattern by pressing the [CLEAR
ALL] and [CANCEL] keys, it is also possible to cancel a single instrument to
erase a mistake or simply eliminate an unwanted instrument. While holding the
[CANCEL] key, press the key corresponding to the instrument you want to cancel.
The selected instrument should now be cleared from the pattern.
NSave the Custom Rhythm ......................................................................................................................
When your custom rhythm is complete, press the STYLE selector with which
you want the new rhythm to be associated. The STYLE selector indicator will glow
green. This saves the custom rhythm in the selected style button. Then press the
[PROGRAM] button to exit the custom rhythm programming mode (the PRO-
GRAM indicator will go out). If you want to stop programming without saving the
rhythm pattern, simply press the [PROGRAM] button so that its LED indicator
goes out.
NOTES
The following patterns can be individually programmed for each Custom Rhythm:
Basic pattern x 1 (NORMAL)
Fill-in x 2 (FILL IN 1/2)
Intro x 1 (INTRO)
Ending x 1 (ENDING)
If a FILL IN button or bar is pressed prior to programming, it is possible to pro-
gram a one-measure custom fill-in (2 types). Custom INTRO/ENDING patterns
can also be programmed: press the [INTRO/ENDING] button while the rhythm is
running to program a custom ending, or while the rhythm is stopped to program a
custom intro. The intro or ending pattern will be the same length as the original (8
measures maximum).
Up to 8 notes can be played simultaneously.
The drum kit, reverb, and pan settings for the custom rhythm can be changed as
required via the “Edit Drum Instrument” function described on page 63.

Playing Back Your Custom Rhythm Pattern
Once created, your original rhythm pattern can be played back by pressing the
[CUSTOM RHYTHM] button (its LED will light), the style selector button into
which it was stored, and then the [START/STOP] button. Press the [START/
STOP] button to stop playback. Your CUSTOM RHYTHM can also be used as the
basis for ABC accompaniment.
NOTES
If ABC is used with a Custom Rhythm pattern, the ABC program of the original
style will be used. If the original style is a disk style, however, no ABC sound will
be produced unless that disk style is loaded.
No sound will be produced if the selected Custom Rhythm style contains no data.
Custom Rhythm data will be backed up for approximately one week.
A set of 12 custom rhythms can be saved to and loaded from disk as described
on page 45, 46.
