Writing 16-Step Patterns

1. Set RHYTHM SELECT [#10] as desired; set the VARIATION switch [#7] at "A" or"B".

In the example, the rhythm pattern will be loaded as rhythm pattern 1-A

2. Set the MODE switch [#8] at WRITE; the TEMPO indicator [#3] should light

indicating the beginning of the measure.

NOTE: The MODE switch [#8] should be changed to the WRITE position only when the

ryhthm pattern is not running.

If the TEMPO indicator [#3] does not light, use either of these two methods:

Press [#12] enough times to light the TEMPO indicator .

Set the MODE switch [#8] at PLAY and press <<STOP>>, then return the MODE

switch [#8] to WRITE.

3. Select the desired sound with the SOUND switch [#9] .

BD=bass drum; SD=snare drum; RS = rim shot; AC = accent in the example,

the bass drum sound has been selected for loading.

4. Write the rhythm using the [#11] and [#12] buttons. After loading sixteen steps;

the TEMPO indicator [#3] will light showing that the measure is fully loaded.

If the TEMPO indicator [#3] does not light, it indicates that the measure has not

been completely loaded.Check by playing the rhythm, or write the rhythm again

from the beginning.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 above for the other two sounds. In the rhythm shown, the

rim shot sound is not used. Set the SOUND switch [#9] at "RS" and press [#12]

sixteen times to clear the memory. If this is not done, the previously loaded rim

shot pattern will be produced when the rhythm is played.

6. To add accents to the rhythm pattern, set the SOUND switch [#9] at "AC" and

press [#11] at those points where an accent is desired and [#12], where accents

are not desired. If no accents are desired at all for the pattern. press [#12] sixteen

times to clear the memory of the previously loaded accents.

7. To check the pattern, set the MODE switch [#8] at PLAY

and press the START [#11] button.

Writing 12-Step Patterns

Set RHYTHM SELECT [#10] at either "7" or "8". Load in the same manner as above, but using twelve steps

instead of sixteen. 12-step rhythm patterns can be used for triple rhythms such as 3/4 and 3/2.
