Modifying (editing) a rhythm pattern

What is a Rhythm Pattern?

A Rhythm Pattern is a sequence of rhythms (i.e., the timing at which a sound is heard) for an individual part. You can use the sixteen step keys to modify the rhythm pattern of each part. A rhythm pattern can also be recorded as you listen to the playback (realtime input). (☞p.27 "Creating a Rhythm Pattern.")

You can also playback the pattern while you select different parts and press the step keys to turn each step on or off.

In the case of a pattern with a length of 2 or greater, you can use the Select keys to move the select LED in the lower line (red) in order to change the step location that is shown by the step keys.

If you wish to save the completed pattern, press the WRITE key. (☞p.20 "Saving a pat- tern that you create.")

If the Pattern Set key is on, the step keys will not display the rhythm pattern.

What is Length?

In this context, "Length" refers to the length of the rhythm pattern.

The "Length" of the pattern will be either 16 steps or 12 steps, depending on the Scale and Beat settings of the pattern. A rhythm pattern in triple meter will be shown in triplets. Depending on the Length and Beat settings, a single pattern can have up to 64 steps. (☞p.38 "Length and Scale/Beat settings.")
