Rhythm and Bass Mode:
The PX5D provides 128 different rhythm and bass patterns, each with six variations. Add eight metronome patterns, each with
three variations – and that totals 744 available patterns to work with – covering just about any style you might need!
The Rhythm and Bass Mode is made up of three types of play:
•
PTN: Here, you can select one rhythm patter to jam along with
•
Chain Play: This mode allows you to chain up to 16 patterns to create a song
•
Song Play: Here, you can play the demo songs

(not available when Mute, bypass or Key Lock are on)

Press the RHYTHM button until the display indicates “SONG”.
3.
Use the VALUE encoder to select between the 3 practice songs to play back.
4.
Use the CURSOR < > buttons to select a parameter such as TEMPO, TRANS, LEVEL, REVERB, LOOP and then use the
VALUE encoder to set the value. (Example: TEMPO is the parameter and 162 is the value)
Selecting “LOOP” will allow you to playback the song repeatedly – set to “On” to turn loop on, and set to “OFF” so that the
song only plays once.
