You can enjoy to play the Rhythm Machine that can generates many
sound patterns shown below.
•Ambient pattern : WAVES and BIRDS
•Rhythm pattern : 36 rhythm patterns
•Scratch sound :
2 scratch sounds using the Jog dial on the
Unit
•Drum pad pattern : 20 pad patterns using the Drum Pads A
to D on the Unit
You can play the Rhythm Machine alone or you can play it while
the other music source except Tuner is played.
The following shows the functional block diagram of the Rhythm
Machine. As an example, signal flows that may be used are shown
with the thick gray lines. From this example, you can see that the
scratch sound and the drum pad pattern can be mixed with the
Rhythm pattern. Also, you can see that the music source (MIC and
guitar in this example) can be mixed with the output of the Rhythm
Machine.
Note: The Rhythm Machine does not work if Tuner is selected.
[RHYTHM MACHINE]
Limitation on Rhythm Pattern's Sound:
The Rhythm Machine has three sound sources and the maximum number of sounds that can be generated from the Rhythm Machine at a time
is three.
Since two or three sounds are used for playing the rhythm pattern, the available sounds for playing the rhythm pattern will be reduced when
you generate the pad pattern and/or scratch sound. In this case, the rhythm pattern's sound will be changed.
Example:
The 8 BEAT-1 rhythm pattern you are playing uses three sounds.
• When you generate the pad pattern by pressing the Drum Pad A or when you generate the scratch sound by turning the Jog dial, t he number
of sounds that will be assigned to the 8 BEAT-1 rhythm pattern will be reduced to two.
• When you generate the pad pattern an d scratch sound at the same time, the number of sound s that will be assigned to the 8 BEAT -1 rhythm
pattern will be reduced to one
