3. Use the cursor [ Q ]/[ W ] keys to make the display
read " Ptn".
The number of the rhythm pattern that is input at the
current location is displayed below "Ptn" in this screen. For
an empty rhythm song, however, no rhythm pattern data
has been input. For this reason, the area that displays the
rhythm pattern number will indicate "EOS" (End Of Song)
to show the end of the rhythm song.
4. Press the [INSERT/DELETE] key to make the
display read "INSERT?"
Each time you press the [INSERT/DELETE] key, the
display will cycle between "INSERT?" → "DELETE?" →
original display. When "INSERT?" is displayed, new
rhythm pattern data can be input at the current location.
5. Turn the dial to select the rhythm pattern that you
want to input.
The number and length (in measures) of the currently
selected rhythm pattern will be displayed.
6. As necessary, use the cursor [ Q ]/[ W ] keys to
change the length of the rhythm pattern.
If you want to lengthen the rhythm pattern, play back the
same rhythm pattern repeatedly. If you want to shorten the
rhythm pattern, switch to the next rhythm pattern before it
has finished playing.
This operation will not affect the original rhythm pattern.
7. To finalize the selected rhythm pattern, press the
[ENTER] key.
The rhythm pattern data will be input at the current
location.
When rhythm pattern data is input, the time signature,
chord root, and drum track / bass track volume specified
for that rhythm pattern will be input at the same location.
8. Repeatedly press the cursor [ R ] key to move to
the location at which you will input the next rhythm
pattern.
Each time you press a cursor [ E ]/[ R ] key, the current
location will move one measure backward or forward.
When you advance to the end of the rhythm song, the
display will indicate "EOS."
• At a location where no rhythm pattern data has been
input, an " " symbol will be displayed to the left of the
"Ptn." This indicates that the immediately preceding
rhythm pattern will continue playing.
• It is also possible to insert other rhythm pattern data into
the middle of a rhythm pattern.
9. Repeat steps 3 – 8 to input rhythm patterns for the
entire song.
If you make a mistake during input, use the following
procedures to correct the mistake.
■ To re-select a pattern that you input
Use the cursor [
E ]/[ R ] keys to move to the desired
rhythm pattern data, and turn the dial to select a new
pattern.
■ To insert a new pattern
Use the cursor [
E ]/[ R ] keys to move to the location at
which you want to insert rhythm pattern data, and execute
steps 4 – 7. The rhythm pattern data will be inserted at the
current location, and subsequent rhythm pattern data will
be moved backward according to the length of that pattern.
