Reference [Rhythm]

section can be used for numeric input, as described below.

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

• Select the pattern

Use status keys 1 - 9 and the [DRUM] key to enter a pattern number with up to 3 digits. The display shows the pattern number.

• Line up patterns

Use the “+” symbol to line up 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. As in regular arithmetic, multiplication symbols take precedence over addition symbols. For example, entering 0 + 1 x 2 + 2 will result in the following play sequence.

0 1 1 2

• Link patterns

Use the “(“ and “)” symbols to link a group of patterns for repetition. Strings enclosed by brackets are processed together as a unit. For example, entering 0 + 1 + 2 x 2+ (3 +

4)x 2 will result in the following play sequence.

0	1	2	2
3	4	3	4

An example for creating the rhythm pattern sequence 0 → 1

→2 → 3 → 2 → 3 → 4 is shown below.
