Rhythm Program
Set the appropriate Quantize value.
For details on the Quantize function, refer to page 161.
Set the Gate Time.
You can adjust the Gate Time setting by using GATE TIME buttons
in the display, or Data Control dial.
Enter the Rhythmic Chord pattern.
The methods for entering the Rhythmic Chord pattern are the same as those for
entering the rhythm pattern. Any key you press sounds a C major triad chord
(C, E, and G). For information on Step Write, see page 156; for information on
Real Time Write, see page 162.
You can also edit the entered Rhythmic Chord pattern using the same method as in
“Editing Entered Percussion Notes” (page 157). To change the gate time of the notes of
the Rhythmic Chord pattern, follow the instructions below.
Gate time determines the actual length of time a note sounds. For example, a
quarter note is sometimes played as tenuto (long length) and sometimes played as
staccato (short length).
Since 1 beat is made up of 480 clocks, a quarter note played tenuto may have a gate
time between 450 – 470, and a staccato quarter note may be about 240.
