List of Chord Types
Changing the Tempo
Although each of the rhythm patterns has its own
appropriately pre-programmed tempo, you can
change this either before playing the pattern or
while it is running.
Operation —
1. Using [6 CURSOR], move the arrow in the
display to the TEMPO box.
2. Use the [–]/[+] buttons to adjust the tempo.
(Hold down either button for rapid operation;
see page 5.) The range is from 30 – 250 BPM
(beats per minute).
Note: ABOUT TEMPO CHANGES AND PATTERN
GROUPS—The tempo change you make here re-
mains in effect as long as you stay within the
A/B pattern “group.” For example, patterns 201
(JT2 A) and 203 (JT2 B), with their fill in
patterns 202 and 204 comprise one such group.
Any pattern you select within this group,
including the companion fill in patterns, will stay
at the same tempo. However, if you select a
pattern from another group (for example, 205
— JT3 A), that new pattern will play at its
default tempo. If you return to the first group
again (for example, 203 — JT2 B), the tempo
change you made before will be cancelled and
the pattern will play at its default tempo.
Muting the Accompaniment, Bass
and Drums
This function lets you turn the sound of the indi-
vidual backing parts (accompaniment, bass and
drums) on and off, either before starting a pattern
or while it is playing.
Operation —
Simultaneously hold down [SHIFT] and press the
appropriate button: [ACCOMP], [BASS] or
[DRUMS].
