5. To stop playback, press the STOP [ P ] key.
The recorder and rhythm pattern will stop.
6. To return to the main screen, press the [EXIT] key
while the rhythm section is stopped.
The [PATTERN] key will remain lit, and the [RHYTHM]
key will go dark. If you press the PLAY [ R ] key in this
state, the rhythm pattern that was used most recently will
play.
7. If you want only the rhythm section to play
independently, press the [RHYTHM] key while
stopped.
The [RHYTHM] key will light, and the rhythm section will
be disconnected from the recorder section. The rhythm
pattern screen will appear in the display.
In this state, pressing the PLAY [ R ] key will play only the
rhythm pattern, and the recorder section will remain
stopped.
When the [RHYTHM] key is lit, the counter in the display
will always indicate the measure.
It is also possible to load rhythm pattern data from another
project existing on the hard disk ( → p.72).
You can use the [TEMPO] key to change the tempo of the
rhythm pattern.
1. In Rhythm Pattern mode, press the [TEMPO] key.
The current tempo value will be displayed.
2. Turn the dial to adjust the tempo.
The tempo can be adjusted in steps of 0.1 over a range of
40 – 250 (BPM). The tempo can even be changed while the
rhythm pattern is playing.
3. To change the tempo manually, press the [TEMPO]
key twice or more at the desired tempo.
The interval between the last two times you pressed the key
will be detected automatically, and set as the new tempo.
4. To return to the main screen, press the [EXIT] key.
The tempo you specify here will apply to all rhythm patterns
played in Rhythm Pattern mode, and to a rhythm song in
which tempo data has not yet been input. (For details on
rhythm songs, refer to p.55.)
If you record on the recorder tracks while listening to the
rhythm patterns, and then later change the tempo of the
rhythm patterns, the two sets of performances will no
longer be synchronized. If you want to record on the
recorder while listening to rhythm patterns, you must
decide on the tempo first.
You can change the sounds (drum kit / bass program) that
are assigned to the drum or bass tracks of the rhythm
pattern.
1. In the main screen, repeatedly press the
[DRUM/BASS] key to make the display read either
"Pad Drum" or "Pad Bass."
Select "Pad Drum" if you want to switch the drum kit, or
"Pad Bass" if you want to switch the bass program.
2. Press the [KIT/PROG] key.
A screen will appear in which you can change the drum kit
or the bass program.
