Using the Rhythm Function (Rhythm Mode)
This section describes how to use the built-in rhythm function that plays realistic drum sounds in
various patterns.
1
Select rhythm mode
Set the Module selector to the "RHYTHM" position.
The number of the currently selected rhythm pattern
(01 – 40) appears on the display.
Also while in rhythm mode, you can use the patch that

was selected immediately before switching the mode.
However, reverb effects are disabled in rhythm mode.
The rhythm function can also be used in play mode.

Adjust the rhythm volume
Turn the [VALUE] knob.
The current setting (0 – 30) is shown briefly on the
display.
5
Adjust the tempo
The rhythm pattern tempo can be adjusted in the
range of 40 – 250 BPM (beats per minute).
• To continuously change the tempo
Hit the [BANK UP·TAP] key once and then turn
the [VALUE] knob while the tempo value is being
shown on the display.
• To manually specify the tempo
Hit the [BANK UP·TAP] key at least twice in the
desired interval. The G1N/G1XN automatically
detects the interval in which the key is pressed the
second and subsequent times, and sets the tempo
accordingly (tap tempo function).
While the above steps are carried out, the new tempo
value (40 – 250) is shown briefly on the display. For
values in the range from 100 to 199, a dot is shown in
the center, and for values of 200 and above, dots are
shown in the center and in the bottom right corner.
With the G1N, using a separately available foot switch
HINT
to manually adjust the tempo is also possible ( g p. 18).
The G1XN does not support use of a foot switch.
