section can be used for numeric input, as described below.
The basic rules for creating a rhythm pattern sequence are as
follows.
• Select the pattern
Use status keys 1 - 9 and the [DRUM] key to enter a pattern
number with up to 3 digits. The display shows the pattern
number.
• Line up patterns
Use the “+” symbol to line up patterns. For example,
entering 0 + 1 + 2 will result in the following play
sequence.
• Repeat patterns
Use the “x” symbol to specify pattern repetitions. As in
regular arithmetic, multiplication symbols take precedence
over addition symbols. For example, entering 0 + 1 x 2 + 2
will result in the following play sequence.
• Link patterns
Use the “(“ and “)” symbols to link a group of patterns for
repetition. Strings enclosed by brackets are processed
together as a unit. For example, entering 0 + 1 + 2 x 2+ (3 +
4) x 2 will result in the following play sequence.
An example for creating the rhythm pattern sequence 0
→ 1
→ 2 → 3 → 2 → 3 → 4 is shown below.
