Pattern Variations—Sections
Like the Styles, each Pattern features several Sec-
tions, allowing you to add dynamic variations to the
performance. Five Sections (A–E) are provided.
Unlike the Styles, however, Patterns do not have the
Sections dedicated to the beginning or ending of the
Song, such as Intro and Ending. All Sections A–E will
play back repeatedly until stopped manually.
Pattern Retrigger Function
This function restarts Pattern playback from the
beginning.
1
Press the [PATTERN] button, then rotate
the dial to select the desired Pattern.
2
Press the [START/STOP] button or press
any key in the Auto Accompaniment
area to start Pattern playback (page 27).
3
By pressing the button of the currently
playing Section, you can restart play-
back from the beginning. Holding down
the button lets loop-play only the top
portion of the Section.
The top portion length (Retrigger Rate) can be
changed by using the knob (page 47).
Changing the Tempo
A Style or Pattern can be played at any tempo you
desire—fast or slow.
1
Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button to call up
the Tempo value in the display.
2
Rotate the dial to set a tempo from 011 to
280.
Pressing the [+/YES] and [-/NO] buttons simulta-
neously can instantly reset the value to the
default tempo of the current Style or Pattern. You
can change the tempo during playback by press-
ing the [TEMPO/TAP] button just twice at the
required tempo.
Tap Start
You can start play back of the Style, Pattern or Song
by simply tapping the [TEMPO/TAP] button at the
required tempo—four times for time signatures in 4
(4/4, etc.), and three times for time signatures in 3 (3/
4, etc.).
• When recording Pattern playback with the Retrigger function,
note that the beat indicator in the display, metronome and
Arpeggio playback is not synchronized with playback of the
recorded Song.
NOTE
• The above operation applies also to Song or Arpeggio
playback tempo.
• Tap tempo setting range: 32–280
