Patches are the basic sound configurations that you play

during a performance. Each patch can be configured by

Rhythm Sets

Rhythm sets are groups of a number of different percussion

instrument sounds. Since percussion instruments generally

do not play melodies, there is no need for a percussion

instrument sound to be able to play a scale on the keyboard.

It is, however, more important that as many percussion

instruments as possible be available to you at the same time.

Therefore, each key (note number) of a rhythm set will

produce a different percussion instrument.

elements. (For details, refer to the explanations for “Tones.”)
