Rhythm Pattern Program 2 Select the part, CHORD 1 or CHORD 2, which you want to create for the Rhythmic Chord pattern. Voices can also be changed even after entering the Rhythmic Chord pattern. You can select only one Voice for one part (Chord 1 or Chord 2). When you want to create a Rhythmic Chord pattern including two different Voices, select one Voice for Chord 1 and another for Chord 2. 4 Set the appropriate Quantize value. For details on the Quantize function, refer to page 149. If the part you have selected contains a preset accompaniment pattern, a message appears prompting you to confirm whether you want to clear the existing data or not. To create your own Rhythmic Chord pattern, select [CLEAR]. 5 Set the Gate Time. You can adjust the Gate Time setting by using the GATE TIME buttons in the display, or the Data Control dial. Using the buttons in the display makes coarse changes in the value. Using the Data Control dial makes fine changes. 3 Select the desired Voice. Pressing the button showing the Voice name calls up the relevant Voice Menu. Select the desired Voice category with the instrument icon buttons, then select the desired 9 Voice from the Voice Menu. The selected Voice is called up for both the Upper and Lower keyboards. Rhythm Program NOTE The Voice menu that appears here is not the same as the one for the Voice Sections. Gate time determines the actual length of time a note sounds. For example, a quarter note is sometimes played as tenuto (long length) and sometimes played as staccato (short length). Since 1 beat is made up of 480 clocks, a quarter note played tenuto may have a gate time between 450 - 470, and a staccato quarter note may be about 240. 6 Enter the Rhythmic Chord pattern. The methods for entering the Rhythmic Chord pattern are the same as those for entering the rhythm pattern. Any key you press sounds a C major triad chord (C, E, and G). For information on Step Write, see page 146 ; for information on Real Time Write, see page 149. You can also edit the entered Rhythmic Chord pattern using the same method as in "Editing entered percussion notes" (page 146). To change the gate time of the notes of the Rhythmic Chord pattern, follow the instructions (see page 152). ELS-02/ELS-02C Owner's Manual 151
