Rhythm Program
You can erase an instrument while rhythm is played.
To erase an instrument/key assignment:
While holding down the [CLEAR] button, press the key on the keyboard
corresponding to the instrument you wish to erase. All instances of the selected
instrument will be erased from the pattern.
When you want to erase all instruments, or edit entered percussion notes, you need to
stop the rhythm then edit. See page 157, “Editing Entered Percussion Notes.”
Creating Backing Patterns (Rhythmic Chord Function)
The Rhythm Pattern Program allows you to use one of the DDK-7’s Accompaniment
patterns with your original rhythm. You can select and save the Accompaniment
pattern that best matches the rhythm that you have created. Moreover, Rhythm Pattern
Program features a Rhythmic Chord function that lets you add your own backing
patterns to the rhythms you create.
To select an appropriate Accompaniment pattern for your newly
created rhythm:
Press the [SETTING] button at the top of the display to call up the
SETTING Page.
Press the [ASSEMBLE] button.
A pop-up menu appears, letting you select the copy source and destination part.
Using the COPY FROM [RHYTHM] and [SECTION] buttons, select
the rhythm and the section which has the accompaniment you
wish to use.
Using the COPY TO [PART] button, select the desired
accompaniment part (CHORD 1 or CHORD 2) to be used for the
Rhythmic Chord pattern.
Using the COPY FROM [PART] button, select the accompaniment
part you want to copy.
