Playing Rhythms

This sets the particular note division and resolution in a “single
grid” used in creating the pattern in an Rhythm Pattern, and how
much 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:

Eighth note shuffle Light (two grid sections = one beat,
with a light shuffle)

1/8H:

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:

Sixteenth note shuffle Light (four grid sections = one
beat, with a light shuffle)

1/16H:

Sixteenth note shuffle Heavy (four grid sections = one
beat, with a heavy shuffle)

1/24:

Sixteenth note triplet (six grid sections = one beat)

This setting (duration) determines whether the sounds are played
staccato (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, Full

30–120:

For example, when set to “30,” the length of the note
in a grid (or when a series of grids is connected with
ties, the final grid) is 30% of the full length of the
note 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 at
which the next new sound is specified.

This has no effect if the Tone Env Mode parameter (p. 87) is set
to “No Sus.”

This specifies the strength with which the Pads you press will be
sounded. If you want the velocity to change according to the force
with which you press the Pads, set this to “REAL.” If you want the
velocity to be a fixed value regardless of the force with which you
press the Pads, specify the desired value (1–127).

Value:

REAL, 1–127

When you play rhythm patterns, the velocity of each note is
determined by the velocity of the notes programmed within the
arpeggio style. You can adjust the amount (“spread”) of this
dynamic variation. With a setting of 100%, the notes will have the
velocities that are programmed by the rhythm pattern. With a setting
of 0%, all notes will be sounded at a fixed velocity.

Value:

0–100%

You can also use a REALTIME CONTROL knob to control this.

Here’s how you can use the realtime control knobs to control the
rhythm in real time by adjusting the rhythm parameters.

1.

Play rhythm.

2.

Press the REALTIME CONTROL button to select “ARP/
RHY.”

The “ARP/RHY” indicator will light.

3.

Turn the REALTIME CONTROL knobs.

While Rhythm Pattern are playing, you can use the knobs to
control the following parameters.

Rhythm Accent Rate -> p. 137

TEMPO -> p. 135
