About the rhythm function
This unit contains many built-in rhythms in various musical styles, such as jazz and
rock.
What the [x (Variation)] [y(Intro/Ending)] [s (Start/Stop)] Buttons Do
Rhythms include not only drum sounds, but also accompaniments featuring
instruments such as piano, guitar, bass, and strings.
You can also add intros and endings to your rhythms, and insert ll-ins These
features make it easy to develop eective and expressive rhythmic accompaniment.
Rhythm Flow
Intro Accompaniment Ending
There are two types of rhythms: original accompaniment patterns, and variation
accompaniment patterns, which embellish the original patterns.
It can be eective to use the quieter original patterns in the rst half of the song,
and then use the variation patterns in the latter half, when you want to build
excitement.
How to play chords
When a chord is played on the keyboard, a rhythm based
on the chord that was played is sounded. (When the keys
marked with “ ” in the illustration are played, the result is
recognized as “C.”)
Note that it is not necessary to press all of the constituent notes of the chord;
chords can be specied using simple ngering. (When the key marked with “
” in
the illustration is played, it is recognized as “C.”)
For details, refer to “Chord Recognition When Split Is On” (p. 13), and the
“Chord Fingering List” at the rear of this manual.
