Using the Pattern Sequencer L-9 C-4 C-7 R-13 R-15 R-14 R-16 R-17 L-13 L-14 L-16 L-15 L-17 C-10 About the Pattern Sequencer You can use the pattern sequencer to create accompaniment patterns that sound while using the Digital Keyboard's Auto Accompaniment function and store them as user rhythms. Rhythms, Accompaniment Patterns, and Instrument Parts Each of the Digital Keyboard's rhythms provides six different accompaniment patterns named INTRO, NORMAL, NORMAL FILL-IN, VARIATION, VARIATION FILL-IN, and ENDING. Each accompaniment pattern can be made up of eight instrument parts (drums, percussion, bass, and chord 1 through chord 5). The overall configuration of a single rhythm is as shown below. INTRO Drums Percussion Bass Chord 1 to Chord 5 Rhythm NORMAL Drums Percussion Bass Chord 1 to Chord 5 NORMAL FILL-IN Drums Percussion Bass Chord 1 to Chord 5 VARIATION Drums Percussion Bass Chord 1 to Chord 5 VARIATION FILL-IN Drums Percussion Bass Chord 1 to Chord 5 ENDING Drums Percussion Bass Chord 1 to Chord 5 The pattern sequencer is a function that allows editing and creation of the various accompaniment patterns that make up a single rhythm, part-by-part. You can record each part of all of the accompaniment patterns from scratch to create a completely original new rhythm. You also can partially edit an existing rhythm (by, for example, editing only one of the parts of an accompaniment pattern) or simply modify its mixer settings if you want. C-17 Recordable Data You can use the pattern sequencer to record keyboard play (note data), PITCH BEND wheel (S-1) operations, and S-2 (MODULATION) button operations. Instrument Part Editing and Rec Areas As a general rule, pattern sequencer editing operations are performed on an instrument part basis. The pattern sequencer maintains special memory areas called "rec areas" for each instrument part during rhythm editing. These areas are used when recording keyboard notes. When editing with the pattern sequencer, there may be previously existing rhythm data remaining for some of the instrument parts, which will make it impossible to use the rec areas. The status of an instrument part that still contains previously existing rhythm data is "Fix Data". You can use the pattern sequencer screen to check whether the currently selected instrument part is in the rec area or if it is "Fix Data". You can display the pattern sequencer screen by pressing the C-4 (PATTERN SEQUENCER) button. This will display the pattern sequencer editing screen for the currently selected rhythm (preset rhythm or previously stored user rhythm). The initial screen shows the drum part of the NORMAL accompaniment pattern of the rhythm being edited. Note "Fix Data" in the lower left corner. This is the current status of the currently displayed instrument part. E-102
