Playing a Rhythm
You can select from among 120 built-in rhythms. See the Rhythm
List on page A-3 for more information.
NOTE
• FOR PIANO group rhythms 10 through 19 consist of chord
accompaniments only, without any drums or other percussion
instruments. These rhythms do not sound unless CASIO
CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected
as the accompaniment mode. With such rhythms, make sure
that CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD
is selected before you try playing chords.
• Note that there are two different patterns for each rhythm,
named "normal" and "variation". Buttons are available for
selecting either the normal pattern or variation pattern.
Rhythms are divided into 8 groups. You can select a group by
