About Rhythm
In addition to its three tracks, the RC-300 can also play a “rhythm.”
You can record while listening to a rhythm at the tempo you specify.
Sounding a Rhythm
1.
Press the RHYTHM [ON/OFF] button to turn the rhythm sound on/off .
• Use the RHYTHM [LEVEL] knob to adjust the volume of the rhythm.
• The [TAP TEMPO] button will blink in time with the rhythm (red on the first beat, green on subsequent beats).
• When you save a phrase memory (p. 14), the rhythm setting selected at that time will also be saved.
Setting the tempo
The RC-300’s tempo settings include a “phrase memory tempo” (p. 21) that’s shared by tracks 1, 2, and 3, and an “original tempo” (p. 19)
for each track. The rhythm will sound at the “phrase memory tempo.”
