When you record a pattern, pressing the ACCENT key to add an accent to a beat (no need to press an instrument key at the same time) will affect ALL instruments sounding on that beat, according to their individual accent levels. For instruments which are not to be accented, simply set their accent level to zero.

The accent level for each instrument can be set independently, making it possible

Setting Accent Levels to set the most natural level in relation to the instrument’s normal level. To enter the accent level mode, press the LEVEL button twice, then press an INST button

while holding down the ACCENT button. The LCD will read “XXXX AC LEVEL=nn” ("XXXX” being the instrument and "nn" the accent level).

The accent level can then be adjusted by the +1/YES or -1/NO keys. The accent level range is the same as the instrument level range: 00-31. The accent level setting, however, is added to the instrument level setting to produce the actual accent level. For example, if the instrument level is set at 15 and the accent level for that instrument is set at 05, then the actual accent level will be 20. The actual accent level cannot exceed 31, so if the instrument level of an instrument is set to the maximum 31 setting, no accenting of notes for that instrument is possible. Once the accent level mode is active, instruments can be selected and adjusted in any sequence. Press the PATTERN PLAY button to exit the accent level mode.
