Rhythm Program
Set the Gate Time. (This is optional, and only necessary when
you want to enter a sustaining sound, such as a whistle.)
For a list of instruments that require a Gate Time setting, refer to the Percussion
Kit List on page 176. For details on Gate Time, refer to page 165.
Use the ACCENT buttons to enter the sound to the selected
point. Press each ACCENT button to actually enter the
percussion sounds.
You can change the rhythm clock to which the percussion sound is entered by
pressing the QUANTIZE [E][F] buttons.
1 Rhythm Clock box
Displays the current position in the pattern according to measure, beat, and number of
clicks.
A click is the smallest division of a pattern, and one beat is made up of 480 clicks.
The rhythm clock advances up to the measures set in the SETTING Page and loops
back to the beginning of the rhythm (01:01:000).
2 ACCENT buttons
Records the instrument and determines its volume or Accent level. Press one of the
ACCENT buttons you wish to set (“ppp” is softer and “fff” is louder; “REST” is no
sound). The instrument is automatically inserted at the Accent level to the selected
position in the pattern. Selection of an Accent level automatically advances the rhythm
clock by one step, according to the current Quantize resolution value.
3 QUANTIZE [E][F] controls
Each press of the buttons advances or reverses the rhythm clock by one step. The size of
a single step is determined by the Quantize value.
Repeat steps #4 through #7 above to layer each instrument and
complete your own rhythm.
