Simple recording method

With EASY COMPOSER you can easily create a unique rhythm pattern by selecting a different style for each part of the rhythm.

1.On the COMPOSER MENU display, select

EASY COMPOSER.

• The display looks similar to the following.

2.Use the MEM and buttons to select the

memory in which to record your rhythm.

• Select from A-vari 1 to 4, B-vari 1 to 4 and C-vari 1 to 4.

3.Use the PART ▲ and ▼ buttons to select the

part.

In the EASY COMPOSER, the new rhythm pattern is divided into 9 parts, to each of which a style and variation is assigned.

4.Use the STYLE and buttons to select a style.

5.Use the VARI and buttons to select the

variation number.

The number of variations differs depending on the selected style.

A part which is set to OFF does not sound. Note that the “BsDrum&Snare” part cannot be set to OFF.

6.Repeat steps 3 to 5 to select styles for the other parts.

7.Press the SET button.

The rhythm pattern is played back.

If you are not satisfied with the rhythm pattern, repeat steps 3 to 7.

If you wish to correct the sounds or phrases in your rhythm pattern, press the EDIT button. The display changes to the recording display. (Refer to page 83.)

For playback, refer to page 85.
