to move the input position, the line scrolls left and right
accordingly.
After using the FAST input method to specify rhythm
patterns for the entire song, press the [ENTER] key to write
the rhythm patterns to the song.
NOTE
The FAST method can only write a song in one go, from
beginning to end. Writing only a partial song or editing the
contents is not possible.
If you wish to edit a rhythm song that was written with this
method, edit the formula and then write the entire song
again, or use step input.
The FAST input method can also be used to program a
phrase loop (
p. 63).
1.
In rhythm song mode ([SONG/PATTERN] key lit),
verify that the [DRUM] key is lit.
2.
Press the [EDIT] key.
The rhythm song edit mode appears.
3.
Use the cursor left/right keys to bring up the
indication “EDIT FAST” on the display, and press
the [ENTER] key.
The input screen for FAST appears.
4.
Use the status keys (1 - 9, [DRUM]) and the [SOLO]
key to enter the formulas for creating the rhythm
song.
The formula input principles are explained on page 84. If
you make a mistake during input, correct it as follows.
•Inserting a number/symbol
Use the cursor left/right keys to move to the position you
want to insert and enter the new number/symbol.
Deleting a number/symbol
Use the cursor left/right keys to move to the position where
you want to delete a number/symbol. Then press the
[DELETE/ERASE] key. The number/symbol is deleted, and
subsequent numbers and symbols are moved up.
5.
When formula input is completed, press the
[ENTER] key.
A screen for selecting the song to write to appears.
Turn the dial to select the song.
HINT
The second line of the display shows the rhythm song
number. If an “E” is shown to the right of the number, the
rhythm song is empty.

Press the [ENTER] key.
The write process is carried out and the unit returns to the
condition of step 2. If you wish to check the input result,
press the PLAY [
R] key.
HINT
Formulas entered with the FAST method are saved for
each project. If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 - 3 to
call up the formulas, edit numbers or formulas, and write
the song again.
When you edit a song, the entire rhythm song is written
again. Writing only a partial song or editing the contents is
not possible.
There is no difference in the completed rhythm song due
to input method that was used, i.e. a song will be the
same, regardless of whether it was created using step
input or the FAST method. A song written with the FAST
method can therefore be edited using step input.
7.
To return to the main screen, press the [EXIT] key
while the rhythm section is stopped.
NOTE
If you play the rhythm song in this condition, the most
recently selected drum kit and tempo will be used.
•To switch the drum kit, bring up the utility menu and select
a new kit. (It is not possible to specify a drum kit for each
rhythm song.)
•To specify tempo information for a particular rhythm song,
enter the tempo information at the beginning (
p. 86).
