7. Press [STOP] When the track is finished, press [STOP] to return to the SONG play mode. Now you can press [RUN] and hear how the sequence sounds. s Creating A Rhythm Track SY85 rhythm tracks are most easily and efficiently created by creating a sequence of rhythm "patterns". The SY85 has memory for 100 internal patterns, initially containing 100 pre-programmed patterns covering a wide variety of musical styles. You can use these patterns as they are, edit them, or record totally new ones as required (the pre-programmed patterns can be re-loaded from the disk supplied with the SY85 at any time). q LISTEN TO THE INTERNAL PATTERNS 1. Press [PATTERN] Press the [PATTERN] key to engage the pattern mode. PATTERN`PLAY```Meas`Tempo`Time`````````` I00w:Funk```V`````1``120``4/`4`````````` 2. Select a Pattern Use [CS1] (or any of the other data entry controls as long as the cursor is below the pattern number) to select a pattern number (00 ... 99). The name of the pattern appears to the right of the number. The letter to the right of the pattern name indicates whether it is a verse ("V"), fill-in ("F"), or chorus ("C") pattern. The number below "Meas" on the display indicates how many measures long the patterns is (1 ... 4). [CS5] can be used to adjust the tempo, below "Tempo" on the display. The number below "Time" is the pattern's time signature. DETAIL Three variations are provided for most of the pre-programmed patterns (verse, fill-in, and chorus) so you can create complete songs with minimum editing. 3. Play the Selected Pattern Press the SEQUENCER [RUN] key to play the selected pattern. The pattern will repeat continuously unil the [STOP] key is pressed. You can select a different pattern while a pattern is playing, and the new pattern will only begin playing as soon as the current pattern finishes (the new pattern number will flash in the meantime). 5.
