NOTE: Refer to page 125 for the instrument assignments of each set. 9 NOTE: The metronome is automatically set to ON when a blank pattern has been selected, and is set to OFF when an existing pattern is copied. 1 2 34 1 BEAT Determines the time signature used for the rhythm. Available time signatures are 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4. The 4/4 time is the default setting when a blank pattern has been selected. 2 QUANTIZE Determines the resolution of the Step Write function. Step Write operations involve advancing in "steps" along regularly spaced points in a measure and Quantize lets you set how many points there will be in the measure. The default setting is a quarter note. In Real Time Write, this function is generally the same as that in Step Write operation. Used with Real Time Write, however, it allows you to automatically "correct" the timing of the notes you enter, according to the specified Quantize resolution. 3 ASSIGN (NORMAL/EXTEND) Selects the instrument set you want to use. Two types are available: NORMAL: 91 different instruments are assigned to the Upper and Lower keyboards. EXTEND: 29 different instruments are assigned to the Upper and Lower keyboards. 4 METRONOME-Real Time Write only Turns the metronome click on or off. When set to ON, the metronome sounds on each beat of the measure (for example, three times per measure in 3/4 time) to serve as a rhythmic guide when programming patterns. The metronome can be turned on or off while a rhythm is playing.

(Sounds can also be entered in the BEAT/QUANTIZE page by Real Time Write.) As with the BEAT/QUANTIZE page above, the Step Write EDIT page is selected when the rhythm is stopped, and Real Time Write EDIT is selected when the pattern is running. 128

Rhythm Pattern Program and Rhythm Sequence Program
9
4
METRONOME—Real Time Write only
Turns the metronome click on or off.
When set to ON, the
metronome sounds on each beat of the measure (for example, three
times per measure in 3/4 time) to serve as a rhythmic guide when
programming patterns.
The metronome can be turned on or off
while a rhythm is playing.
BEAT/QUANTIZE Page—Step Write

1
BEAT
Determines the time signature used for the rhythm.
Available time
signatures are 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4.
The 4/4 time is the default setting
when a blank pattern has been selected.
NOTE:
Beat can only be changed when the
rhythm is stopped.
2
QUANTIZE
Determines the resolution of the Step Write function.
Step Write
operations involve advancing in “steps” along regularly spaced points
in a measure and Quantize lets you set how many points there will be
in the measure.
The default setting is a quarter note.
In Real Time Write, this function is generally the same as that in Step
Write operation.
Used with Real Time Write, however, it allows you
to automatically “correct” the timing of the notes you enter,
according to the specified Quantize resolution.
3
ASSIGN (NORMAL/EXTEND)
Selects the instrument set you want to use.
Two types are available:
NORMAL:
91 different instruments are assigned to the Upper and
Lower keyboards.
EXTEND:
29 different instruments are assigned to the Upper and
Lower keyboards.
NOTE:
Refer to page 125 for the instrument
assignments of each set.
NOTE:
The metronome is automatically set to
ON when a blank pattern has been
selected, and is set to OFF when an
existing pattern is copied.
BEAT/QUANTIZE Page—Real Time Write
6) Entering Percussion Sounds to a Rhythm Pattern
Percussion sounds can be entered by either Step Write or Real Time Write
from the EDIT page.
(Sounds can also be entered in the BEAT/QUANTIZE
page by Real Time Write.)
As with the BEAT/QUANTIZE page above, the
Step Write
EDIT page is selected when the rhythm is stopped, and Real Time
Write EDIT is selected when the pattern is running.
NOTE:
The positions at which the sounds are
input will be corrected according to the
predetermined quantize value in Real
Time Write operation.
