1 Step Forward and Step Reverse Controls
Each press of the corresponding Data Control buttons advances
or reverses the rhythm clock by one step. The size of a single
step is determined by the Quantize value, set in the Beat/
Quantize page.
2 Rhythm Clock
Displays the current position in the pattern, according to the
measure, beat, and number of clicks. A click is the smallest
division of a pattern, and one beat is made up of 24 clicks.
The rhythm clock advances up to two measure and loops back
to the beginning of the rhythm (1.1.1).
Use the Accent section of the EDIT page to enter the sound to
the selected point.
Press the Data Control buttons corresponding to each Accent to
actually enter the percussion sounds. The Accent section has
nine steps, from a minimum of 0, or no sound, to a maximum of
8. The Accent 0 can be used when entering rests.
1 ACCENT
Records the instrument and determines its volume or Accent
level. Press the Data Control button that corresponds to the
Accent level you wish to set; the instrument is automatically
inserted at that Accent level to the selected position in the
pattern (shown in the rhythm clock).
Selection of an Accent level automatically advances the rhythm
clock by one step, according to the current Quantize resolution
value.
Repeat the above procedures #2 through #5 to layer each rhythm
track and complete your own rhythm.
