KORG D16 Guide

Work with the TEMPO / RHYTHM function:

1. Press the TEMPO / RHYTHM key. You'll hear the metronome, and the display will indicate the current
settings. Manual is selected as the Tempo Source in the display, and the counter reads 001:01:000
(beats, measures and ticks) Make sure that the display reads like the example graphic below:
2. To adjust the metronome volume level, press to highlight Vol:XXX in the display, then rotate the DIAL.
(You can change this level at any time, if needed)
3. Press to highlight Metro4 in the display. (You're listening to the standard metronome "click")
4. Slowly-rotate the DIAL to the right, to audition some of the metronome and PCM rhythm patterns in
memory. The majority of rhythm patterns are straight "grooves" that you can play along with.
some of the patterns are indicated as Intro, Fill, or Ending by an I, F or E preceding the pattern
5. Play your source instrument along with the rhythm pattern you've selected to use, and adjust the
metronome volume and Channel Fader to set the mix.
6. To adjust the tempo press to highlight 120 in the display, then rotate the DIAL. The display will indicate
the new tempo setting.
7. To adjust the time signature, press to highlight 04/04 in the display, then rotate the DIAL. The display will
indicate the new time signature. It's suggested that you use a setting of 04/04 for this exercise.
Note: For time signatures 3/4, 4/4 and 6/8, all patterns can be selected. If you choose any other time
signature, only the Metro or Hihat can be selected.
Tip: A complete listing of the rhythm patterns in memory, including length and
original tempo can be found on page 114 in the D16 owner's manual.
Note: You can mute and un-mute the metronome / rhythm pattern playback by pressing the Mute button in
the upper-right of the display.
