Beat Pattern
This allows you to select the Beat Pattern. It will affect
the accent location and note length, causing the beat
(rhythm) to change.
Range : 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16 1–3, 1/32 1–3, PORTA-A
1–11, PORTA-B 1–15, SEQ-A 1–7, SEQ-B 1–5,
SEQ-C 1, 2, SEQ-D 1–8, ECHO 1–3, MUTE
1–16, STRUM 1–8, REGGAE 1, 2, REF 1, 2,
PERC 1–4, WALKBS, HARP, BOUND, RAN-
DOM, BOSSA NOVA, SALSA 1–4, MAMBO
1–2, CLAVE, REV CLA, GUILO, AGOGO,
SAMBA, TANGO 1–4, HOUSE 1, 2
If "PORTA-A 1–11, PORTA-B 1–15" is selected as the
Beat Pattern, the Patch parameter Portamento Time (p.
78) will control the speed of portamento. Adjust the
portamento time as appropriate for the playback
tempo. (It is not necessary to turn portamento on.)
* The parameters which can be set will depend on the cur-
rently-selected Arpeggio Style.
Shuffle Rate
This setting lets you modify the note timing to create
shuffle rhythms.
Range: 50–90 (%)
With a setting of 50%, the notes will sound at equal
spacing. As this value is increased, the notes will
become more "bouncy," as if they were dotted notes.
