Begin by selecting one of the preset rhythms (NORMAL or VARIATION), a
previously-recorded custom rhythm, or a loaded disk style rhythm (NORMAL or
VARIATION) that is close to the rhythm you want to create. For example, select a
WALTZ rhythm if you want to program a rhythm pattern in
3/4 time. You cannot program a 3/4 rhythm when a 4/4 rhythm is selected, and vice
versa.
Press the [PROGRAM] button so that its LED indicator lights. The selected
rhythm will begin playing.
• When the PROGRAM mode is engaged, the LED indicators for all rhythm se-
lectors that currently contain custom rhythm data will glow green. Any previ-
ously programmed and stored custom rhythm pattern can be erased from
memory by pressing the corresponding rhythm button while holding the [CAN-
CEL] (F6) key.
The initial resolution for custom rhythm programming is 16th (for doublet-type
beats) or 12th notes (for triplet-type beats): "QUANTIZE ON" will appear on the
display when the PROGRAM mode is engaged. This means that all entered notes
will be adjusted to fall on the nearest 16th or 12th beat. If you need greater resolu-
tion for free-tempo passages, switch to 96th-note resolution by pressing the [TAP]
key ("QUANTIZE OFF" will appear on the display). You can return to 16th (12th)
note resolution at any time by pressing the [METRONOME] button.
You can now add new notes to the selected rhythm accompaniment by playing
the keyboard percussion keys at the appropriate timing. Keyboard velocity sensitiv-
ity lets you add accents and dynamics as required. The rhythm pattern is two meas-
ures long (the current measure number will appear on the display), and the pattern
will continue to repeat so you can add new instruments during each repeat, if nec-
essary.
