patterns for the entire song, press the [ENTER] key to write
the rhythm patterns to the song.

• The FAST method can only write a song in one go, from
beginning to end. Writing only a partial song or editing the
contents is not possible.
• If you wish to edit a rhythm song that was written with this
method, edit the formula and then write the entire song
again, or use step input.
• The FAST input method can also be used to program a
phrase loop (
→
p. 63).
1.
In rhythm song mode ([SONG/PATTERN] key lit),
verify that the [DRUM] key is lit.
2.
Press the [EDIT] key.
The rhythm song edit mode appears.
3.
Use the cursor left/right keys to bring up the
indication “EDIT FAST” on the display, and press
the [ENTER] key.
The input screen for FAST appears.
4.
Use the status keys (1 - 9, [DRUM]) and the [SOLO]
key to enter the formulas for creating the rhythm
song.
The formula input principles are explained on page 84. If
you make a mistake during input, correct it as follows.
• Inserting a number/symbol
Use the cursor left/right keys to move to the position you
want to insert and enter the new number/symbol.
• Deleting a number/symbol
Use the cursor left/right keys to move to the position where
you want to delete a number/symbol. Then press the
[DELETE/ERASE] key. The number/symbol is deleted, and
subsequent numbers and symbols are moved up.
5.
When formula input is completed, press the
[ENTER] key.
A screen for selecting the song to write to appears.
Turn the dial to select the song.

H INT
• Formulas entered with the FAST method are saved for
each project. If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 - 3 to
call up the formulas, edit numbers or formulas, and write
the song again.
• When you edit a song, the entire rhythm song is written
again. Writing only a partial song or editing the contents is
not possible.
• There is no difference in the completed rhythm song due
to input method that was used, i.e. a song will be the
same, regardless of whether it was created using step
input or the FAST method. A song written with the FAST
method can therefore be edited using step input.
7.
To return to the main screen, press the [EXIT] key
while the rhythm section is stopped.
N OTE
• If you play the rhythm song in this condition, the most
recently selected drum kit and tempo will be used.

a new kit. (It is not possible to specify a drum kit for each
rhythm song.)
• To specify tempo information for a particular rhythm song,
enter the tempo information at the beginning (
→
p. 86).
