Using the sequencer to create patterns (Pattern mode)
Pattern Mode
2. When the currently playing pattern ends, the pattern you
selected in step 1 will begin playing.
When the currently playing pattern nears the end, the pattern
number in the lower line of the display will begin to blink. Once
the number begins to blink, you will no longer be able to specify
the next pattern, since preparations for switching patterns have
already begun.

Muting a part (Track Mute)
By switching the play/mute status of various parts while the pattern
plays, you can add dynamic variation to the playback without
switching to a different pattern.
If you want to do things such as mute only the kick drum, or
mute individual drum tones (percussion instrument sounds),
you can use parts that are not used by that pattern, then assign
rhythm sets to several parts (p. 68) and record the percussion
instruments separately.
1. Press [TRACK MUTE] so it is lit.
2. Press a lit or blinking button ([0]–[9]) corresponding to each
part to switch it between play and muted status.
The RS-70 has a total of sixteen parts.
To switch the play/mute status of parts 11–16, hold down
[SHIFT] and press [1]–[6].

(p. 54).

Set the pattern tempo
1. Press [TAP TEMPO] so it is lit.
The current tempo of the pattern will be displayed.
fig.r06-05_40
When the pattern changes, the tempo display will also change.
2. Use VALUE [-]/[+] to adjust the tempo.
3. Press [EXIT] to return to the previous screen.
When you press [TAP TEMPO], the tempo display will always
be updated according to tempo changes in the pattern.
You cannot realtime-record tempo changes.
Pressing a button to modify the tempo
(Tap Tempo)
You can modify the tempo by the rate at which you press [TAP TEMPO].
1. At quarter-note beats, press [TAP TEMPO] three or more
times at the desired tempo.
The tempo will be calculated automatically, and set to the
interval at which you pressed the button.
fig.r06-06
The button lets you check the tempo and time signature. During
the playback, the button will blink in red on the first beat of each
measure, and in green on subsequent beats.
BPM
BPM stands for Beats Per Minute, and indicates the number of
quarter notes that occur in one minute.
Standard tempo
An optimal tempo is already set for each pattern. This is called
the “standard tempo.” Regardless of whether the pattern is
playing or stopped, switching to another pattern will switch to
the standard tempo value of that pattern.
Recording your performance while
you play it (Realtime recording)
