EXPLORE THE RHYTHMS
Rhythms combine drum/percussion programs with specifically designed rhythm patterns.
[RHYTHMS]. Turn the DATA DIAL to cycle through different Rhythms.
TO PLAY A RHYTHM
Press and hold any key from the bottom of the keyboard up to the middle G#. (These are the keys labeled
from recent through all.)
TO PLAY A RHYTHM'S INDIVIDUAL DRUM SOUND
Press one of the white keys from middle A (labeled voice) upward. The keyboard's middle A corresponds to
the rhythm's Drum A. The next higher note, B (labeled osc), corresponds to Drum B. Proceeding higher,
drums C, D, E, etc. are triggered. Any keys higher than the rhythm's highest note will do nothing.
TO PLAY A RHYTHM HANDS FREE
Press any key from middle G# down on the keyboard. While holding down that key, press [LATCH ARP] to
keep the rhythm going. Press [LATCH ARP] a second time to stop the rhythm.
TO CHANGE THE TEMPO
Tap the [TAP TEMPO] button a few times, or hold down [TAP TEMPO] and turn the DATA DIAL.
Each Rhythm's drum sounds, relative sound levels, left/right panning, rhythmic patterns, time signature,
duration, quantization, and name can be edited.
