USING THE PRESET AUTO-RHYTHMS

Your MD-1600 has 100 preset auto- rhythms that provide a steady beat for your music. The name and two-digit number of each preset auto-rhythm is marked to the left of the MD-1600’s dis- play.

You can play a preset auto-rhythm on the MD-1600 in any of these ways:

•Select and play a rhythm. See “Selecting/Playing an Auto-Rhythm” on Page 15.

•Synchronize the start of a rhythm with your music. See “Using SYN- CHRO” on Page 16.

•Start a rhythm with a special intro- duction. See “Using INTRO” on Page 16.

•Stop a rhythm with a special ending. See “Using ENDING” on Page 17.

•Briefly vary the pattern of a rhythm. See “Using FILL-IN” on Page 17.

•Play an alternate version (variation) of a rhythm. See “Using VARIA- TION” on Page 17.
