7. Turn the dial to select the number of the rhythmpattern to insert.

In this example, we will choose rhythm pattern number 046

(ROCK 17).

INSERT?

P046x 28. Use the cursor up/down keys to adjust the rhythmpattern length.

When the duration is longer than the original rhythm pattern, the same pattern is repeated for the number of measures. When the duration is shorter, the unit switches to the next rhythm pattern while the current pattern is playing.

In the diagram on page 22, the rhythm pattern 046 is repeated for 8 measures. Therefore "8" is to be input here.

You can also switch to another rhythm pattern midway through a playing pattern. For example, if you specify a length of 7 measures for a pattern that is normally 2 mea- sures, the pattern will play 3 times and a half, and then the unit switches to the next rhythm pattern.

9. To insert the rhythm pattern, press the [ENTER]key.

The rhythm pattern number is entered at the beginning of the

song.

PTN:046ROCK17 0

001- 1

In this condition, the rhythm pattern selected in step 6 will

be played repeatedly from the start of the rhythm song to measure 8.

•For measures where no rhythm pattern information is input, the display shows " " to the left of "PTN". This means that the immediately preceding rhythm pattern will continue to be played.

11. Press the [INSERT/COPY] key to display the rhythm pattern insert screen.

12. Select the next rhythm pattern number and the number of measures to be repeated, and press the [ENTER] key.

In the diagram on page 22, the pattern 000 is repeated for 2 measures from measure 9. Therefore "P000x2" is entered here.

When you press the [ENTER] key, the new rhythm pattern is inserted at the start of measure 9, and the "EOS" indication moves to the start of measure 11.
