Reference [Rhythm]

NOTE

If you delete the rhythm pattern data that is recorded at the beginning of the rhythm song, there will be silence until the next location at which rhythm pattern data is input.

■To delete a specific measure

Use the cursor left/right keys to move to the beginning of the measure that you want to delete. Repeatedly press the cursor up key to call up the indication “EV→”. Then press the [DELETE/ERASE] key and then the [ENTER] key. The current measure will be deleted, and subsequent rhythm pattern data will be moved forward. If you delete the first measure of a two-measure rhythm pattern, the second measure will remain, and the display will change to “ PTN”.

FAST input

The FAST (Formula Assisted Song Translator) method uses simple formulas to specify rhythm pattern playback from start to end. The keys and pads of the rhythm section can be used for numeric input, as described below.

[)] key

Enters the closing bracket ")" used for linking several phrases.

[(] key

Enters the opening bracket

[x] pad

Enters the "x" that specifies the

"(" used for linking several

repetition of a phrase.

phrases.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pads 0 - 9

Specify phrase numbers and

[+] pad

repetition count.

Enters the "+" for lining

 

 

up phrases.

The basic rules for creating a rhythm pattern sequence are as follows.

●Select the pattern

Use pads 0 - 9 to select a pattern number from 0 - 510. The display shows the pattern number.

●Line up patterns

Use the “+” symbol to line up rhythm patterns. For example, entering 0 + 1 + 2 will result in the following play sequence.

0 1 2

●Repeat patterns

Use the “x” symbol to specify pattern repetitions. “x” takes precedence over “+”. For example, entering 0 + 1 x 2 + 2 will result in the following play sequence.

0 1 1 2

●Repeat multiple patterns

Use the “(“ and “)” symbols to link a group of patterns for repetition. Formulas enclosed in brackets take precedence over other formulas. For example, entering 0 + 1 x 2 + 2 + (3 + 4) x 2 will result in the following play sequence.

0 1 1 2

3 4 3 4

An example for creating the rhythm pattern sequence 0 → 1

→1 → 2 → 3 → 2 → 3→ 4 → 4 is shown below.
