to move the input position, the line scrolls left and right

accordingly.

After using the FAST input method to specify rhythm patterns for the entire song, press the [ENTER] key to write the rhythm patterns to the song.

NOTE

•The FAST method can only write a song in one go, from beginning to end. Writing only a partial song or editing the contents is not possible.

•If you wish to edit a rhythm song that was written with this method, edit the formula and then write the entire song again, or use step input.

•The FAST input method can also be used to program a phrase loop (→ p. 63).

1. In rhythm song mode ([SONG/PATTERN] key lit), verify that the [DRUM] key is lit.

2. Press the [EDIT] key.

Use the cursor left/right keys to move to the position you want to insert and enter the new number/symbol.

• Deleting a number/symbol

[ENTER] key.

A screen for selecting the song to write to appears.

Turn the dial to select the song.

The second line of the display shows the rhythm song number. If an “E” is shown to the right of the number, the rhythm song is empty.

•Formulas entered with the FAST method are saved for each project. If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 - 3 to call up the formulas, edit numbers or formulas, and write the song again.

•When you edit a song, the entire rhythm song is written again. Writing only a partial song or editing the contents is not possible.

•There is no difference in the completed rhythm song due to input method that was used, i.e. a song will be the same, regardless of whether it was created using step input or the FAST method. A song written with the FAST method can therefore be edited using step input.

7. To return to the main screen, press the [EXIT] key

while the rhythm section is stopped.

NOTE

•If you play the rhythm song in this condition, the most recently selected drum kit and tempo will be used.

•To switch the drum kit, bring up the utility menu and select a new kit. (It is not possible to specify a drum kit for each rhythm song.)

•To specify tempo information for a particular rhythm song, enter the tempo information at the beginning (→ p. 86).
