Playing a Rhythm

Playing a Rhythm

You can select from among 120 built-in rhythms. See the Rhythm List on page A-3 for more information.

NOTE

•FOR PIANO group rhythms 10 through 19 consist of chord accompaniments only, without any drums or other percussion instruments. These rhythms do not sound unless CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected as the accompaniment mode. With such rhythms, make sure that CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected before you try playing chords.

•Note that there are two different patterns for each rhythm, named “normal” and “variation”. Buttons are available for selecting either the normal pattern or variation pattern.

Rhythms are divided into 8 groups. You can select a group by pressing its RHYTHM button on the digital piano control panel.
