Playing Rhythm ([Rhythm]) - Roland RD-700 Owner's Manual

Playing Rhythm ([RHYTHM])

The RD-700 features internal drum patterns complementing Jazz, Rock, and
other various musical genres. These drum patterns are referred to as
"Rhythms."
You can turn Rhythms on and off individually in any key mode. You can
perform using Rhythms combined with various functions, for example
performing arpeggios while a Rhythm is playing.

performances of both parts
are synchronized.

ends of Rhythms.

arpeggio is played while a
rhythm plays, the arpeggio
will stop at the moment
that the rhythm stops.
