A rhythm song contains information about rhythm patterns,
chord, tempo, beat etc. in a matrix configuration, as shown
below. This is called event information. When the rhythm song
is in the input condition, you can move the current position
with the cursor keys etc. and use the cursor up/down keys to
call up and enter or edit event information (see below).
1.
Bring up the rhythm song selection screen,
and turn the dial to select the rhythm song for
which you want to add other information.
2.
Press the REC [ O ] key.
The REC [
O]key lights up and rhythm song step input becomes
possible.
3.
Use the cursor up key to bring up the indication
“Event
→
” on the first line of the display.
This screen lets you check which event information is entered
at the current point. The symbol after “Event
→” (such as “Pt”
or “TS”) denotes the type of event.
Available events and their symbols are listed in the table below.
NOTE
• Time signature information can be entered only at the beginning
of a measure.
• If no tempo information is input for the rhythm song, the tempo
currently set for the rhythm section will be used. To ensure that
a rhythm song will always play with the same tempo, be sure to
enter tempo information at the beginning of the song.
4.
Move to the location at which you want to
input a new event.
For details on how to move the current location, refer to page
106.
5.
Use the cursor up/down keys to select the
type of event that you want to input.
If the event you select here has been input at the current
location, its value will be displayed.
If there is no corresponding event, the display will indicate “ ←
xxx” (where xxx is the event name). This indicates that the
previously input event information still applies.
6.
Turn the dial to input the event value.
HINT
By pressing the PLAY [ R ] button during rhythm song step
input, you can listen to the rhythm pattern with the updated
settings. (To stop play, press the STOP [ P ] key.)
7.
Input the remaining events in the same way.
To input more information for the same type of event, you can
move the current position in measures or beats while the event
input screen is displayed.
If you make a mistake or want to change the information, the
events can be edited in the following ways.
