7.
Turn the dial to select the number of the rhythm
pattern to insert.
In this example, we will choose rhythm pattern number 046
(ROCK 17).
8.
Use the cursor up/down keys to adjust the rhythm
pattern length.
When the duration is longer than the original rhythm pattern,
the same pattern is repeated for the number of measures.
When the duration is shorter, the unit switches to the next
rhythm pattern while the current pattern is playing.
In the diagram on page 22, the rhythm pattern 046 is
repeated for 8 measures. Therefore "8" is to be input here.
HINT
You can also switch to another rhythm pattern midway
through a playing pattern. For example, if you specify a
length of 7 measures for a pattern that is normally 2 mea-
sures, the pattern will play 3 times and a half, and then the
unit switches to the next rhythm pattern.
9.
To insert the rhythm pattern, press the [ENTER]
key.
The rhythm pattern number is entered at the beginning of the
song.
In this condition, the rhythm pattern selected in step 6 will
be played repeatedly from the start of the rhythm song to
measure 8.
10.
Press the cursor right key repeatedly until the
counter shows "009-1".
By pressing the cursor left or right key, you can move the
current position in the rhythm song in steps of one measure.
When you reach the end of the rhythm song (in this case "9-
1"), the indication "EOS" appears on the display.
HINT
For measures where no rhythm pattern information is
input, the display shows " " to the left of "PTN". This
means that the immediately preceding rhythm pattern will
continue to be played.
If you press the PLAY [
R] key while the REC [O] key is lit,
the rhythm pattern set for the current position will play
repeatedly.
11.
Press the [INSERT/COPY] key to display the
rhythm pattern insert screen.
12.
Select the next rhythm pattern number and the
number of measures to be repeated, and press the
[ENTER] key.
In the diagram on page 22, the pattern 000 is repeated for 2
measures from measure 9. Therefore "P000x2" is entered
here.
When you press the [ENTER] key, the new rhythm pattern is
inserted at the start of measure 9, and the "EOS" indication
moves to the start of measure 11.
