Creating a rhythm song

3.Use the cursor [Q]/[W] keys to make the display read "Ptn".

The number of the rhythm pattern that is input at the current location is displayed below "Ptn" in this screen. For an empty rhythm song, however, no rhythm pattern data has been input. For this reason, the area that displays the rhythm pattern number will indicate "EOS" (End Of Song) to show the end of the rhythm song.

4.Press the [INSERT/DELETE] key to make the display read "INSERT?"

Each time you press the [INSERT/DELETE] key, the display will cycle between "INSERT?" → "DELETE?" → original display. When "INSERT?" is displayed, new rhythm pattern data can be input at the current location.

7.To finalize the selected rhythm pattern, press the [ENTER] key.

The rhythm pattern data will be input at the current

location.

HINT

When rhythm pattern data is input, the time signature, chord root, and drum track / bass track volume specified for that rhythm pattern will be input at the same location.

8.Repeatedly press the cursor [R] key to move to the location at which you will input the next rhythm pattern.

Each time you press a cursor [E]/[R] key, the current location will move one measure backward or forward. When you advance to the end of the rhythm song, the display will indicate "EOS."

HINT

•At a location where no rhythm pattern data has been input, an "" symbol will be displayed to the left of the "Ptn." This indicates that the immediately preceding rhythm pattern will continue playing.

•It is also possible to insert other rhythm pattern data into the middle of a rhythm pattern.

Reference

5.Turn the dial to select the rhythm pattern that you want to input.

The number and length (in measures) of the currently

selected rhythm pattern will be displayed.

Rhythm pattern number

Rhythm pattern length (measures)

6.As necessary, use the cursor [Q]/[W] keys to change the length of the rhythm pattern.

If you want to lengthen the rhythm pattern, play back the same rhythm pattern repeatedly. If you want to shorten the rhythm pattern, switch to the next rhythm pattern before it has finished playing.

HINT

This operation will not affect the original rhythm pattern.

9.Repeat steps 3 – 8 to input rhythm patterns for the entire song.

If you make a mistake during input, use the following procedures to correct the mistake.

■To re-select a pattern that you input

Use the cursor [E]/[R] keys to move to the desired rhythm pattern data, and turn the dial to select a new pattern.

■To insert a new pattern

Use the cursor [E]/[R] keys to move to the location at which you want to insert rhythm pattern data, and execute steps 4 – 7. The rhythm pattern data will be inserted at the current location, and subsequent rhythm pattern data will be moved backward according to the length of that pattern.
