Creating a Rhythm Set
Creating a Rhythm Set
Wave Group
Select the groups containing the Waves comprising the rhythm tone.
Value
INT:
Waveforms stored in internal memory
EXP:
Waveform stored in a Wave Expansion Board (SRX series)
installed in EXP slots.
SMAP:
Sample waveforms
MSAM:
Multisample waveforms
You cannot select a waveform group of a Wave Expansion Board
that is not installed.
Wave Bank
Select the wave bank.
Value
When the wave group is EXP:
A-D
When the wave group is SAMP:
PRST, USER, CARD
When the wave group is MSAM:
USER, CARD
Wave No. L (Mono) (Wave Number L (Mono))Wave No. R (Wave Number R)
This selects the Waves comprising the rhythm tone. Along with the
Wave number, the Wave name appears at the lower part of the
display.
When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specified. When in
stereo, the right side (R) is also specified.
Value:
----, 1–1228 (The upper limit will depend on the wave group.)
* When using a multisample in stereo, you must specify the same
number for L and R.
Wave Tempo Sync
When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo),
set this to “ON.” This is valid only when a separately sold wave
expansion board is installed, and a waveform that indicates a tempo
(BPM) is selected as the sample for a wave.
Value:
OFF, ON
• If a waveform from a wave expansion board is selected for the
tone, turning the Wave Tempo Sync parameter “ON” will cause
pitch-related settings (p. 71) and FXM-related settings (p. 69) to
be ignored.
• If a sample is selected for a tone, you must first set the BPM
(tempo) parameter of the sample.
• If a sample is selected for a tone, Wave Tempo Sync will require
twice the normal number of voices.
Wave Gain
Sets the gain (amplification) of the waveform. The value changes in 6
dB (decibel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform’s gain.
Value:
-6, 0, +6, +12
FXM Switch
This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
Value:
OFF, ON
FXM Color
Specifies how FXM will perform frequency modulation. Higher
settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a
more metallic sound.
Value:
1–4
FXM Depth
Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.
Value:
0–16
When the Tempo Sync parameter is set to “ON,” settings related
to Pitch (p. 71) and FXM (p. 69) are disabled.
Tips on Creating a Rhythm Tone
The Waves for the bass drum, snare, hi-hat, toms, and other
percussion instruments are each assigned to one rhythm tone.
When adding 3D effects to the sound, make the Pan settings for
each rhythm tone individually.

Phrase Loop
Phrase loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase that’s
been pulled out of a song (e.g., by using a sampler). One
technique involving the use of Phrase Loops is the excerpting of
a Phrase from a pre-existing song in a certain genre, for example
dance music, and then creating a new song with that Phrase
used as the basic motif. This is referred to as “Break Beats.”
Realtime Time Stretch
If the wave group is “SAMP” or “MSAM,” and the Wave
Tempo Sync parameter is turned “ON,” you can vary the
playback speed of the waveform without affecting the pitch.

FXM
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified waveform
to apply frequency modulation to the currently selected
waveform, creating complex overtones. This is useful for
creating dramatic sounds or sound effects.
