You can play a preset auto-rhythm on the MD-1600 in any of these ways:

Select and play a rhythm. See “Selecting/Playing an Auto-Rhythm” on Page 15.

Synchronize the start of a rhythm with your music. See “Using SYN- CHRO” on Page 16.

Start a rhythm with a special intro- duction. See “Using INTRO” on Page 16.

Stop a rhythm with a special ending. See “Using ENDING” on Page 17.

Briefly vary the pattern of a rhythm. See “Using FILL-IN” on Page 17.

Play an alternate version (variation) of a rhythm. See “Using VARIA- TION” on Page 17.
