Creating A Rhythm Pattern - Roland Juno-Stage User Manual

Chapter 4. Using the Song Player

Creating a Rhythm Pattern

In addition to using the preset rhythm patterns that are provided, you
can freely create your own rhythm patterns.
You can create a rhythm pattern either by step-recording from the
keyboard or by using the VALUE dial and buttons to enter data.
It's convenient to enter notes from the keyboard if you're creating a
new rhythm pattern from scratch rather than creating one based on an
existing pattern. Conversely, it's convenient to use the dial or buttons
to enter notes if you're editing an existing rhythm pattern.
Initializing a Rhythm Pattern
If you're creating a rhythm pattern from scratch (rather than starting
with an existing rhythm pattern), you'll begin by initializing a rhythm
pattern.
1. In the RHYTHM PATTERN screen, press [6 (PTN EDIT)].
The RHYTHM PATTERN EDIT screen will appear.

Hold down [SHIFT] and press [5 (INIT)].
2.
A confirmation message will appear.
Initialization will be cancelled if you press [6 (CANCEL)].
Press [7 (EXEC)].
3.
The rhythm pattern will be initialized.
Step-recording from the Keyboard
In the RHYTHM PATTERN EDIT screen, press [2 (SETUP)].
1.
The Rhythm Setup window will open.
2. Use the cursor buttons to move the cursor to the parameter you
want to edit.
3. Use the VALUE dial or [DEC] [INC] to set the value.
Indication Values
End Step 1–32
Input
REAL,
Velocity 1–127
76
Explanation
Specifies the number of steps.
Specifies the velocity of the notes.
Choose "REAL" if you want to enter
the velocity at which you actually
pressed the key. Otherwise, specify
the desired velocity;
p (piano) = 60,
mf (mezzo forte) = 90,
f (forte) = 120.
Press [7 (CLOSE)] to close the Rhythm Setup window.
4.
You will return to the RHYTHM PATTERN EDIT screen.
5. Press [7 (STP REC)] to make the check mark (✔) appear.
Now you're ready to perform step recording.
Proceed with step recording as follows.
• Use cursor buttons to move to the location at which you want
to enter a note.
• The tones of the rhythm set selected in the RHYTHM GROUP
screen will be assigned to the keyboard. Use the keyboard to
enter notes.
• Press [3 (TIE)] to enter a tie.
• Press [4 (REST)] to enter a rest.
• To delete a note, hold down [SHIFT] and press [7 (CLR
NOTE)].
• To delete all notes at the current step, hold down [SHIFT] and
press [6 (CLR STEP)].
• To preview the pattern you're inputting, press [5 (PREVU)] to
display a check mark (✔).
A maximum of sixteen rhythm tone can be used in one pattern.
When you're finished inputting, press [6 (EXIT)].
6.
Using the Dial and Buttons for Entry
In this method, you'll use the cursor buttons to specify the step and
tone to be input, and use the VALUE dial or [DEC] [INC] to specify the
velocity of the note.
This method is convenient when you're editing or modifying an
existing pattern.
1. In the RHYTHM PATTERN EDIT screen, press [7 (STP REC)] to clear
the check mark (✔).
Proceed with step recording as follows.
• Use cursor buttons to specify the step and tone that you want to
enter.
* When using this method for entry, the keyboard can't be used
to specify the tone. (Unlike the case when step-recording, the
keyboard won't enter notes.)
• Use the VALUE dial or [DEC] [INC] to enter the velocity value.
By turning the VALUE dial all the way to the right (or using
[INC] to raise the value all the way), you can enter a tie.
• You can also enter a tie by pressing [3 (TIE)].
• To enter a rest, press [4 (REST)].
• To preview the pattern you're inputting, press [5 (PREVU)] to
display a check mark (✔).
A maximum of sixteen rhythm tone can be used in one pattern.
2. When you're finished inputting, press [6 (EXIT)].
