Creating Your Own Original Rhythms

You can use rhythm editing to modify a built-in Auto Accompaniment rhythm to create an original “user rhythm” of your own. You can select a part (drum, bass, etc.) of a normal, intro, or other pattern (page E-20) and turn it on or off, adjust its volume level, and perform other operations.

1. Select the number of the Auto Accompaniment rhythm you want to edit.

2. At the same time, press the cs (FUNCTION) and ck (RHYTHM EDITOR) buttons.

This displays the rhythm editor screen.

3. Use the accompaniment pattern buttons (bo through br) to select the pattern (normal, intro, ending, etc.) you want to edit.

The button you press will light, indicating that the pattern is being edited.

•Each press of bp (NORMAL/FILL-IN)toggles between NORMAL and FILL-IN, and each press of bq (VARIATION/FILL-IN)toggles between VARIOUS and FILL-IN. The applicable button flashes while the fill-in pattern is selected.

Example: When intro is selected
