When set to ON, Auto Variation automatically substitutes additional pattern variations to make the rhythm more interesting and complex. 2 PERCUSSION REV. (Reverb) Determines the amount of reverb applied to the rhythms and percussion sounds used in the rhythms. When the panel REVERB control is set to the minimum, the setting here will have no effect.

(Balance) Determines the balance between two main sound types of the rhythms: the drum sounds and the cymbal sounds. Higher settings emphasize the cymbal sounds, while lower settings emphasize the drums. 4 PERCUSSION VOL. (Volume) Fine adjustment of the overall volume of the rhythms and Keyboard Percussion (page 68). 5 ACC. VOL. (Accompaniment Volume) (This control is the same as that described in the Accompaniment section, page 67.) NOTE: The Auto Variation function is not applied to some of the rhythms. 59
