You can switch the UPPER and LOWER drum
sounds by pressing [RHYTHM PAD].

(Method 2) Inputting with the [ENTER]
Press CURSOR [ ] to move the cursor to the
matrix display.
Press [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the
intersection of the drum sound you want to input
and the time at which you want it to sound, then
press [ENTER].
The drum sound is alternately input or deleted each
time you press [ENTER].

Pressing CURSOR [ ] in the top row of the
matrix display returns the cursor to its original
position.

Indicated in the matrix
You can confirm the timing with which each rhythm
instrument sounds in the matrix display.
The ▼ mark in the lower part of the matrix indicates beat
timing.
* When a coarse Quantize setting is used, the ▼ mark may
indicate half-note or quarter-note timing.

When using high-resolution Quantize settings, you may
be unable to view the entire pattern, from start to finish,
in the display at one time.
In such instances, a “ ” symbol appears, indicating
that there is material not currently displayed.
