Playing RhythmsChanging the Beat and Shuffle(Grid)This sets the particular note division and resolution in a “singlegrid” used in creating the pattern in an Rhythm Pattern, and howmuch of a “shuffle” syncopation is to be to applied (none/weak/strong) to it (grid type).* Grid settings are shared with the arpeggio.Value:1/4: Quarter note (one grid section = one beat)1/8: Eighth note (two grid sections = one beat)1/8L:1/8H:Eighth note shuffle Light (two grid sections = one beat,with a light shuffle)Eighth note shuffle Heavy (two grid sections = one beat,with a heavy shuffle)1/12: Eighth note triplet (three grid sections = one beat)1/16: Sixteenth note (four grid sections = one beat)1/16L:1/16H:Sixteenth note shuffle Light (four grid sections = onebeat, with a light shuffle)Sixteenth note shuffle Heavy (four grid sections = onebeat, with a heavy shuffle)1/24: Sixteenth note triplet (six grid sections = one beat)Applying Staccato and Tenuity(Duration)This setting (duration) determines whether the sounds are playedstaccato (short and clipped), or tenuity (fully drawn out).* Grid settings are shared with the arpeggio.Value:30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, Full30–120: For example, when set to “30,” the length of the notein a grid (or when a series of grids is connected withties, the final grid) is 30% of the full length of thenote set in the grid type.FUL (Full):Even if the linked grid is not connected with a tie,the same note continues to sound until the point atwhich the next new sound is specified.Changing the Accent Strength(Rhythm Accent)When you play rhythm patterns, the velocity of each note isdetermined by the velocity of the notes programmed within thearpeggio style. You can adjust the amount (“spread”) of thisdynamic variation. With a setting of 100%, the notes will have thevelocities that are programmed by the rhythm pattern. With a settingof 0%, all notes will be sounded at a fixed velocity.Value: 0–100%You can also use a REALTIME CONTROL knob to control this.Using the Realtime Control Knobsto Control the RhythmHere’s how you can use the realtime control knobs to control therhythm in real time by adjusting the rhythm parameters.1. Play rhythm.2. Press the REALTIME CONTROL button to select “ARP/RHY.”fig.13-004The “ARP/RHY” indicator will light.TempoRhythm Accent3. Turn the REALTIME CONTROL knobs.While Rhythm Pattern are playing, you can use the knobs tocontrol the following parameters.• Rhythm Accent Rate -> p. 137• TEMPO -> p. 135This has no effect if the Tone Env Mode parameter (p. 87) is setto “No Sus.”Changing the velocity of RhythmPattern (Rhythm Pattern Velocity)This specifies the strength with which the Pads you press will besounded. If you want the velocity to change according to the forcewith which you press the Pads, set this to “REAL.” If you want thevelocity to be a fixed value regardless of the force with which youpress the Pads, specify the desired value (1–127).Value: REAL, 1–127137
