The
default setting
is
4/4
time.
That
is,
whenever
a
rhythm pattern
is
erased, the
TR-505
autonnatically
selects
4/4
time.
This
can be always seen
in
the Dis-
play.

The above
picture
shows
that four
steps are assigned
to a
quater
note, this
means
that a step
is
a sixteenth
note.
In this
case,
it
is
not possible to write a
rhythm
pattern with thirty-second notes or shuffle or
swing
which use
triplets.
To solve
this
problem, the
TR-505
features
4
different scales.
