Playing RhythmsCreating an Rhythm Pattern(Rhythm Pattern Edit)In addition to using the built-in Rhythm Patterns, you are free tocreate your own. After creating an original Rhythm Pattern, you canstore it in the internal user memory.Broadly speaking, there are two ways to create an Rhythm Pattern.fig.11-007_50* To input a tie, press [F2 (TIE)].* To input a rest, press [F3 (Rest (Clear))].* You can use [F4 (Zoom In)]/[F5 (Zoom Out)] to zoom the display inor out.* You can press [F6 (Preview)] to audition the style you’ve input.Using the Dial or [INC][DEC] toInput ValuesIn this method, you’ll use the cursor to specify the step or pitch thatyou want to input, and use the dial or [INC][DEC] to input values.This method is convenient when you want to edit or modifypreviously input data.1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [RHYTHM].2. Press [F7 (Edit)].The Rhythm Pattern Edit screen will appear.Step-recordingIn this method, you use the keyboard and pads to step-record yourRhythm pattern. Each time you input a note, you will advance to thenext step. This method is convenient when you want to create aRhythm pattern from scratch using a Style that contains no data.If you want to create “from scratch,” you’ll need to initialize theStyle. In the Rhythm Pattern Edit screen, hold down [SHIFT]and press [F1 (Init)]. A message will ask whether you want toinitialize; press [F8 (Exec)] to execute initialization.1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [RHYTHM].2. Press [F2 (Rhythm)].3. Press [F7 (Edit)].The Rhythm Pattern Edit screen will appear.4. Press [F1 (Rhythm Setup)].The Rhythm Setup screen will appear.5. Move the cursor to “End Step,” and specify the number ofsteps for the Rhythm Pattern you want to create.6. Move the cursor to “Input Velocity,” and specify thevelocity setting for the data you will input.• With the “Real” setting, the velocity will depend on the strengthwith which you actually strike the keyboard or pads.• With a numerical setting of “1–127,” the data will always beinput with the specified velocity, regardless of how stronglyyou strike the keyboard or pads.Make the desired setting, and then press [F8 (Close)] to close theRhythm Setup screen.3. Press [F1 (Rhythm Setup)].The Rhythm Setup screen will appear.4. Move the cursor to “End Step,” and specify the number ofsteps for the Rhythm Pattern you want to create.Make the desired setting, and then press [F8 (Close)] to close theRhythm Setup screen.5. Use [CURSOR] to specify the step or pitch you want toinput.* When using this method of input, you can use the keyboard to specifythe pitch of the note. (Unlike when step-recording, pressing thekeyboard will not actually input the note.)6. Input the velocity value, using either the VALUE dial or[INC][DEC].You can input a tie by turning VALUE all the way to the right(or using [INC] to raise the value all the way).* You can also input a tie by pressing [F2 (TIE)].* To input a rest, press [F3 (Rest (Clear))].* You can use [F4 (Zoom In)]/[F5 (Zoom Out)] to zoom the display inor out.* You can press [F6 (Preview)] to audition the style you’ve input.* When using this method of input, you can use the pads to specify thevelocity and finalize your input; after you’ve specified the step andpitch to be input, strike a pad to input it.(Higher-numbered pads produce higher velocity values; for example,striking pad 1 specifies a velocity value of 8, while striking pad 16specifies a velocity value of 127.)A maximum of sixteen note numbers (pitches) can be used in asingle style.7. Press [F8 (Step Rec)] so it lights red.Now you’re ready to step-record. Play the keyboard or pads toinput notes.138
