User Rhythm Numbers

Rhythm areas numbered F:001 through F:100 are for storage of user rhythms. You can have up to 100 user rhythms stored in memory at one time. You can recall a stored user rhythm by pressing the L-9 ([F] USER RHYTHMS) button. See “Playing an Auto Accompaniment” (page E-24) for more information.

Creating a User Rhythm

This section explains the various methods you can use to create user rhythms.

■Editing One or More Parts of an Existing Rhythm

With this procedure, you edit an existing preset rhythm or previously stored user rhythm to create a new rhythm. With this method, you can select and edit (or record anew) specific parts of an existing accompaniment pattern and store the result.

The following is the general flow for this method.

Check the content of the rhythm you will edit and determine how (what part of what accompaniment pattern*) you will edit it.

Use the rec menu to configure settings related to

accompaniment pattern recording.

Display the instrument part for the accompaniment pattern you want to edit and then configure the desired mixer settings and record keyboard notes.

After editing is complete, store the rhythm as a user

rhythm.

*You cannot edit the INTRO or ENDING of an accompaniment pattern of an existing rhythm.

For full details about this procedure, see “To rehearse before editing an existing rhythm” (page E-104) and “To edit an existing rhythm” (page E-107).
