Playing Rhythms
1/16: Sixteenth note (four grid sections = one beat)
1/16L: Sixteenth note shuffle Light
(four grid sections = one beat, with a light shuffle)
1/16H: Sixteenth note shuffle Heavy
(four grid sections = one beat, with a heavy shuffle)
1/24: Sixteenth note triplet (six grid sections = one beat)
Applying Staccato and Tenuity
(Duration)
This setting (duration) determines whether the sounds are played
staccato (short and clipped), or tenuity (fully drawn out).
* Grid settings are shared with the arpeggio.
For details on the settings, refer to “Rhythm Pattern Settings”
(p. 113)
Value: 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, Full
30–120: For example, when set to “30,” the length of the note in a
grid (or when a series of grids is connected with ties, the
final grid) is 30% of the full length of the note set in the
grid type.
FUL (Full): Even if the linked grid is not connected with a tie, the
same note continues to sound until the point at which
the next new sound is specified.
This has no effect if the Tone Env Mode parameter (p. 68) is set
to “No Sus.”
Changing the velocity of Rhythm
Pattern (Rhythm Pattern Velocity)
This specifies the strength with which the keys you press will be
sounded. If you want the velocity to change according to the force
with which you press the keys, set this to “REAL.” If you want the
velocity to be a fixed value regardless of the force with which you
press the keys, specify the desired value (1–127).
For details on the settings, refer to “Rhythm Pattern Settings”
(p. 113)
Value: REAL, 1–127
Changing the Accent Strength
(Accent Rate)
When you play rhythm patterns, the velocity of each note is
determined by the velocity of the notes programmed within the
arpeggio style. You can adjust the amount (“spread”) of this
dynamic variation. With a setting of 100%, the notes will have the
velocities that are programmed by the rhythm pattern. With a setting
of 0%, all notes will be sounded at a fixed velocity.
For details on the settings, refer to “Rhythm Pattern Settings”
(p. 113)
Value: 0–100%
You can also use a REALTIME CONTROL knob to control this.
