Using a Drum Sampling Tone in Auto Accompaniment (Drum Assign)

Use the following procedure to change the rhythm part of an Auto Accompaniment pattern to a drum set sound that you sampled.

1.Press bo (RHYTHM) and then use br (10-key) to enter the rhythm number of the Auto Accompaniment pattern you want.

You cannot use a Drum Sampling Tone in a user rhythm, so do not select a user rhythm in the above step.

2.Press bn (TONE) and then use br (10-key) to enter the tone number of the sampling drum set that contains the sound you want to use.

3.Press bn (TONE).

This changes the rhythm part of the Auto Accompaniment pattern you selected in step 1 to the sampled sound you selected in step 2.

•To change the Auto Accompaniment rhythm part back to its original sound, press bn (TONE) again.

•Some rhythm part drum sounds cannot be replaced by sampled sounds.
