Using FAST for pattern information
input
The FAST (Formula Assisted Song Translator) method
developed by ZOOM uses simple formulas to specify
rhythm pattern playback from start to end. The following
keys and pads can be used for numeric input.
[)] key
Enters the closing bracket ")" used
for linking several patterns.
[(] key
Enters the opening
bracket "(" used for
linking several
patterns.
Pads 0 - 9
Specify pattern numbers
and repetition count.
The basic rules for creating a rhythm pattern sequence are
as follows.
●
Line up patterns
Use the "+" symbol to line up rhythm patterns.
For example, entering
following rhythm pattern play sequence.
PATTERN 0 PATTERN 1 PATTERN 2
●
Repeat patterns
Use the "x" symbol to specify pattern repetitions. "x"
takes precedence over "+".
For example, entering
0 + 1 x 2 + 2
following rhythm pattern play sequence.
PATTERN 0 PATTERN 1 PATTERN 1 PATTERN 2
●
Repeat multiple patterns
Use the "(" and ")" symbols to link a group of patterns for
repetition. Formulas enclosed in brackets take

Enters the "x" that
specifies the repetition
of a pattern.
