The FAST input method can also be used to program the
rhythm pattern sequence in a rhythm song (
→ p. 83).
The basic rules for programming a phrase loop are as
follows.
• Select the phrase
Use status keys 1 - 9 and the [DRUM] status key to enter a
phrase number from 0 - 99. The display shows the phrase
number.
•Line up phrases
Use the “+” symbol to line up phrases. For example,
entering 0+1+2
will result in the following play sequence.
• Repeat phrases
Use the “x” symbol to specify phrase repetitions. “x” takes
precedence over “+”. For example, entering 0+1x2+2
will
result in the following play sequence.
•Link phrases
Use the “(“ and “)” symbols to link a group of phrases for
repetition, and use the “x” symbol to specify the repetition
count. For example, entering (1+2)x2+3
will result in the
following play sequence.
An example for creating the phrase loop “ 0+(1+2)x8 ” is
shown below.

• When you enter a numeral, the cursor (flashing segment)
automatically moves one step to the right.
• After entering “x” and “+” etc., you must use the cursor
right key to move the cursor (flashing segment) one step to
the right. Then enter the numeral.
• If the formula for the phrase loop does not fit on two lines,
the indication scrolls in steps of one character. If you use
the cursor left/right keys to move the input position, the
line scrolls left and right accordingly.
After entering a formula, it can be edited as follows.
•Inserting numbers or symbols
Use the cursor left/right keys to move the cursor (flashing
segment) to the desired position and enter the new numeral
or symbol.
