Using the Rhythm Editor

You can use the rhythm editor to modify a built-in Auto Accompaniment rhythm and 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-27) and turn it on or off, adjust its volume level, and perform other operations.

User Rhythm Numbers
