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.

Press the REC [

O

] key.

The REC [

O

] key will light, and you can now input data

such as rhythm pattern numbers and chords into the rhythm

song.
