The basic rules for creating a rhythm pattern
sequence are as follows.
• Line up patterns
Use the “+” symbol to line up rhythm patterns.
For example, entering 0 + 1 + 2 will result in
the following rhythm pattern play sequence.
• Repeat patterns
Use the “x” (multiplication) symbol to specify
pattern repetitions. As in normal arithmetic,
“x” takes precedence over “+”. For example,
entering 0 + 1 x 2 + 2 will result in the
following rhythm pattern play sequence.
• Repeat multiple patterns
Use the “(“ and “)” symbols (opening and
closing brackets) to link a group of patterns for
repetition. Formulas enclosed in brackets take
precedence over other formulas. For example,
entering 0 + (1 + 2) x 2 + 3 will result in the
following rhythm pattern play sequence.
An example for creating the rhythm pattern
sequence 0 + (1 + 2) x 3 is shown below.
