1.2 Selecting a rhythm pattern

The rhythm section of the MRS-802 provides drum sounds (drum kits) which can repeatedly play accompaniment patterns of several measures in length (these are called “rhythm patterns”). By arranging rhythm patterns in the desired order, you can create the accompaniment for an entire song. (This is called a “rhythm song”.)

This section describes how you can select one of the built-in 511 rhythm patterns and use it as a guide rhythm.

If desired, you can create the rhythm accompaniment as a rhythm song. (For details on how to do this, see page 80.)
