Part II Playing the rhythm

Overview of rhythm performance

An explanation follows of the terms related to this instrument’s rhythm performance.

Rhythm and accompaniment pattern

Each rhythm is comprised of not only a DRUMS pattern, but also of accompaniment patterns called BASS and ACCOMP. The combination of all of these is the rhythm.

The accompaniment pattern sounds when you perform using the AUTO PLAY CHORD (APC). (Refer to page 53.)

Rhythm and Style

One rhythm of this instrument is comprised of four VARIATION patterns, and for each one the optimum sounds and effects are set.

All of these together comprise one STYLE.

Custom Style

You can create your own styles, load styles from a disk/SD card, and store them in a special area of the memory called CUSTOM. The stored style is called the CUSTOM STYLE.

Here is the procedure to create a new style.

1.Store the sound and effect settings in bank A, B or C of the PANEL MEMORY (1 4). (Refer to page 65.)
