2) Programming a Sequence 1 Select the type of rhythm you wish to enter, Preset or User. 9 You can program the rhythm sequence a measure at a time. Every User rhythm consists of two measures. If you want to program two-measure User rhythms, you are required to enter it twice, for the first measure and the second measure. When entered, the first measure is displayed as positive box and the second measure is displayed as negative box . The rhythm patterns can be divided into four groups: Normal such as and , Intro, Fill In and Ending. When changing the type, for example, from Normal to Fill In and Fill In to Normal while programming a rhythm sequence, the first measure of the newly selected type will always be selected and follow. However, when the same type continues even though you change the rhythm, for example, from to , the second measure may succeed the sequence. That means some of the User rhythms inserted in a rhythm sequence may begin from its second measure. To keep this from happening and begin the newly selected rhythm from the first measure, insert a different type, Fill In, before using the new rhythm pattern. Press these Data Control buttons to select PRESET and USER, alternately. 2 Select the desired rhythm by pressing the appropriate button in the Rhythm section, then select SET in the display to enter the pattern. (Refer to the Rhythm Pattern Number Table below for a list of the rhythms and their number assignments.) q When PRESET is selected in step #1 above, the Rhythm buttons are used to select the Preset rhythm names printed at the top. q When USER is selected, however, these buttons function according to the User numbers and letters printed at the bottom. Select the User pattern by pressing one of the numbered buttons (1-8), then a lettered button (A, B, C, or D) or FILL (for User Fill In).

Press SET to select the rhythm pattern.
Currently selected pattern, or the pattern
at the current cursor position.
You can program the rhythm sequence a
measure at a time.
Every User rhythm
consists of two measures. If you want to
program two-measure User rhythms,
you are required to enter it twice, for the
first measure and the second measure.
When entered, the first measure is
displayed as positive box
and the
second measure is displayed as negative
box
.
The rhythm patterns can be divided into
four groups: Normal such as
and
, Intro, Fill In and Ending. When
changing the type, for example, from
Normal to Fill In and Fill In to Normal
while programming a rhythm sequence,
the first measure of the newly selected
type will always be selected and follow.
However, when the same type continues
even though you change the rhythm, for
example, from
to
, the second
measure may succeed the sequence.
That means some of the User rhythms
inserted in a rhythm sequence may
begin from its second measure.
To keep this from happening and begin
the newly selected rhythm from the first
measure, insert a different type, Fill In,
before using the new rhythm pattern.
NOTE:
A maximum of 120 patterns can be
entered to a single sequence.
