Rhythm

The Rhythm mode in the RP2000 is a great tool for improving your timing, rehearsing different musical styles, or just
jamming when your drummer is out delivering pizzas.The Rhythm mode plays sampled drum beats in an infinite loop
and lets you to select different patterns, change tempo, and adjust the volume level.When the Rhythm mode is activat-
ed, the drum samples are mixed with your guitar signal at the left, right, and headphone outputs of the RP2000, and at
the Digital Output if the Dry Track feature is off.
The Rhythm mode is activated by pressing the Rhythm button. At this time, the Rhythm button's LED will light and the
current drum pattern will loop continuously. If Rhythm mode is activated from Performance mode, the LEDs in the
Store, Utility, and Assign buttons will light indicating that the function of these switches has changed.The Store button is
now used to select the drum Pattern, the Utility is used to select the Tempo, and the Assign is used to adjust the Level
of the drum loop.
The RP2000's Display will show the currently selected Rhythm function for 5 seconds and allow you to change the
Rhythm Pattern,Tempo, or Level when they are selected. If no adjustment is made after 5 seconds, the RP2000 will
revert back to the name of the currently selected Preset. Presets can be changed or edited while the Rhythm mode is
