Assembling Loop Phrases

1.

Make sure that PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM
[ARRANGEMENT/PATTERN] is lighted (you’re in
Arrangement mode).
If this button’s indicator is off (meaning that you’re in
Pattern mode), press PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM
[ARRANGEMENT/PATTERN] so it is lighted.
2.
Press PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM [EDIT].
The Rhythm Arrangement Selection screen will appear.

3.

The screen for allocating Loop Phrases to rhythm
arrangements will appear.

fig.21-20d

This screen allows you to assemble Loop Phrases in units
of one measure.

4.

Move the cursor to “MEASURE” and select a measure
using the TIME/VALUE dial.
5.
Move the cursor to “NO.” and select a Loop Phrase
using the TIME/VALUE dial.

fig.21-21d

The selected Loop Phrase will now be assigned to the
selected measure.

Simplifying Loop Phrase input

When Loop Phrases are assigned to the track buttons,
you will be able to use the track buttons to conveniently
input Loop Phrases. In such a case, the length of the
Loop Phrase will be set as the number of measures that it
contains. For instructions for assigning Loop Phrases to
the track buttons, refer to “Assigning Loop Phrases to
track buttons” (p. 184).

6.

Move the cursor to “POS” and select “TOP” or
“BOTTOM” using the TIME/VALUE dial.

POS (POSITION)

In cases where the Loop Phrase that has been input is
less than one measure in length, this parameter
determines whether it will be aligned with the beginning
or end of the measure.
TOP:
The Loop Phrase is aligned with the beginning of the
measure.

BOTTOM:

The Loop Phrase is aligned with the end of the measure.

7.

Move the cursor to “LEN” and set the length of the
selected Loop Phrase as a number of measures.
Note that when the length is changed in this way, the
position of all Loop Phrases assigned to subsequent
measures will also change accordingly.
8.

Move the cursor to “VOL” and select a suitable volume
for the Loop Phrase using the TIME/VALUE dial.

Although it is quite acceptable to leave the volume at
100, adjustment may need to be carried out when the
volume of the Loop Phrase is much louder or quieter
that than of the other tracks being played.
9.
Move the cursor to “TEMPO MATCH” and select
“ON” or “OFF” using the TIME/VALUE dial.

TEMPO MATCH

ON:

The speed of Loop Phrase playback will be automatically
adjusted to synchronize the Loop Phrase with the rhythm
arrangement’s tempo. This is the standard setting.

OFF:

The Loop Phrase will be played back at its own speed
setting regardless of the rhythm arrangement’s tempo.

• When “ON” has been selected, the speed of Loop Phrase
playback will be automatically adjusted to match the
rhythm arrangement tempo. Loop Phrases can be
adjusted to any tempo within a range of 0.75 to 1.5 times
its own tempo. Accordingly, if the adjusted playback
speed would result in a tempo outside this range, the
Loop Phrase will be played back at either the range’s
upper or lower limit. In such a case, Loop Phrase
playback will not be synchronized with the playback of
the other rhythm arrangement components (i.e., drums
and bass).
• The quality of Loop Phrase playback may be reduced
when the adjusted tempo differs considerably from the
original tempo.
