■ Copying Rhythm Patterns to
Create Rhythm Parts
The KF-7 features numerous internal rhythm patterns. You
can copy these rhythm patterns to create a rhythm part.
→ For more information about the name of Rhythm Patterns,
please refer to “Rhythm Pattern List” (p. 179).
At Step 3 of “Selecting the editing function” (p. 121), select
<Copy>.
For more about ordinary copying, please refer to “Copying
Measures (Copy)” (p. 122).
Select “Rhythm Pattern” as the <Src>.
This makes the setting for copying a built-in Rhythm Pattern.

• The rhythm pattern’s name and measure count are
indicated in the <From> column.
• The <Dst> is fixed at “Part 10.”
• When the <Src> is switched to something other than
“Rhythm Pattern,” the KF-7 is set to carry out normal
copying.
Press the [ (Play/Stop)] button to play back and
confirm the rhythm pattern. The rhythm pattern stops when
you press the [ (Play/Stop)] button once more.
■ Correcting Timing
Discrepancies (Quantize)
You can correct for timing discrepancies in a recorded
performance by automatically aligning the music with the
timing you specify. This is called “Quantizing.”
As an example, let’s say that the timing of some quarter-
notes in a performance is a little off. In this case, you can
quantize the performance with quarter-note timing, thus
making the timing accurate.

At Step 3 of “Selecting the editing function” (p. 121), select
<Quantize>.
A screen like the one shown below appears.

When finished with the Quantize settings, return to the Song
Edit screen.
Mode
Data can be copied in the following three ways:
Replace
If there is a performance recorded at the copy
destination, this previous recording is erased,
and the copied data is written in its place.
Mix
If there is a performance recorded at the copy
destination, the copied data is layered over the
previous recording. If the Tones used for the
copy source and copy destination are different,
the copy-destination Tone is used.
Insert
If there is a performance recorded at the copy
destination, the copied portion is inserted with-
out erasing the previous recording. The song is
lengthened by the number of inserted mea-
sures.
