Creating a rhythm song
This section explains how to arrange rhythm patterns in the
desired order of playback in an empty rhythm song, and
input chords and other data to create a complete rhythm
song.
When you create a new project on the MRS-1044, the
rhythm song will always be empty.
Before you perform the following procedure, make sure that
the DRUM, BASS, and MASTER faders of the panel are
raised, and that the DRUM and BASS status keys are lit.
Here's how to input rhythm pattern data into an empty
rhythm song in the desired playback order.
1.
In the main screen, press the [SONG] key, and then
press the [RHYTHM] key.
The [RHYTHM] key will light. If Rhythm Pattern mode
(the [PATTERN] key lit) has been selected, it will change
to Rhythm Song mode (the [SONG] key lit).
The display will show the "rhythm song screen," which
indicates the progress of the rhythm song.
• While the rhythm song is playing, the lower line of the
screen will show the number of the rhythm pattern that
has been input at the current location, the type of chord,
and the root.
• The rhythm song can be created/edited only when the
[RHYTHM] key is lit.
• While the [RHYTHM] key is lit, the counter in the display
will always indicate measure numbers.
2.

The REC [
