Rhythm Program
Playing Rhythm Sequences
To play any of the rhythm sequences you have created:
Press the appropriate Sequence button ([SEQ. 1] – [SEQ. 4]) on
the panel.
The SEQ button’s lamp lights.
Press the rhythm [START] button.
The rhythm in the selected sequence starts playback.
The Registration Memory also changes with the Rhythm Sequence playback,
if the sequence includes a Registration Sequence.
Rhythm playback automatically stops when the sequence reaches its end.
If you’ve stopped rhythm playback in the middle of the sequence, press the
[START] button again to resume playback.
Playing All Sequences in Order
You can also have up to all four rhythm sequences automatically play in order, one after
another.
Press the desired Sequence buttons, making sure that all their
LEDs are lit.
Press the rhythm [START] button.
The rhythm sequences start from the lowest number and play in order
automatically to the highest number. (For example, if you press Sequence
buttons 4, 2 and 1 in that order, the sequences will be played back not in the
order you pressed them, but in their numeric order: 1, 2, then 4.) This function
effectively allows you to make a long rhythm sequence that exceeds the 140-
pattern memory limit of a single sequence.
Pressing one of the SEQ. buttons while a Rhythm Sequence is playing back
automatically cancels the pressed sequence, and its LED turns off. You cannot
cancel a sequence that is currently playing. The SEQ. lamp goes out when the
sequence assigned to it is finished playing.
