Explore the Rhythms

Rhythms combine drum/percussion programs with specifically
designed rhythm patterns.
Press [rhythms]. Turn the control knob to cycle through
different rhythms.
● To play a rhythm
Press and hold any key from the bottom of the keyboard up to the
middle G#. (These are the keys labeled from recent through all.)
● To play a rhythm's individual drum sound
Press one of the white keys from middle A (labeled voice) upward.
The keyboard's middle A corresponds to the rhythm's Drum A.
The next higher note, B (labeled osc), corresponds to Drum B.
Proceeding higher, drums C, D, E, etc. are triggered. Any keys
higher than the rhythm's highest note will do nothing.
● To play a rhythm hands free
Press any key from middle G# down on the keyboard. While
holding down that key, press [latch] to keep the rhythm going.
Press [latch] a second time to stop the rhythm.
● To change the tempo
Tap the [tap] button a few times, or hold down [tap] and turn the
control knob.
● To change to a different rhythm
Turn the control knob to change the rhythm. The newly selected
rhythm will begin to play once the last rhythm reaches the end of
its cycle. (To make the newly selected rhythm begin playing
immediately, press any key from all downward.).
