and store them as user rhythms.
The storage locations and the number of rhythms that can be
stored depend on the Digital Keyboard model.

■ Saving to an External Device
User rhythms can be saved to a USB flash drive or a
computer. For details, see "To save Digital Keyboard data to a
USB flash drive" (page EN-121) and "Transferring Data

Each rhythm includes 10 accompaniment patterns, and each
accompaniment pattern is made up of eight parts. To create a
single user rhythm from scratch, you need to record eight
parts of each of the 10 accompaniment patterns. You can also
use a built-in rhythm as a base, and replace parts of it with
new recordings, or you can copy and edit accompaniment
patterns, if you want.
• For details about accompaniment patterns, see
"Accompaniment Patterns" (page EN-47).
Data Recordable to Each Part
You can record keyboard play (note data) and pitch bend
wheel operations to an accompaniment pattern part.
