Rhythm Composer (programming your own rhythms)

Backing Keyboard BK-5 OR

101

Press the [WRITE] button (its indicator flashes) to

confirm your settings and edit the data.

■ Track Length

This function allows you to modify the length (num-

ber of bars, beats and clocks) of a pattern after

recording. Data that lie outside the range you

decided to keep are discarded. Obviously, you only

need to change the settings of the Mode whose

length you want to modify.

NOTE

There is no way to recall the previous version, so be sure to

save your rhythm before continuing (see p. 89).

Division Intro 1~4,

Main 1~4, Fill

Dwn 1~3, Fill

Up 1~3, End

1~4

Use this parameter to

select the Division you

want to edit.

From Bar~

To CPT

See page 92.

Data Type See page 94.

Value (CPT) –4800~4800 This parameter sets the

amount by which the

notes are shifted. The

value refers to CPT

units (one CPT= 1/120

q). Notes on the first

beat of the first bar

cannot be shifted fur-

ther to the left,

because that would

mean shifting them to

the “0” measure, which

doesn’t exist.

From Note,

To Note

0 C-~127 G9 “From Note” allows

you to set the note (or

lower limit of the note

range) to be modified

within the specified

“From”/“To” time

range.

“To Note” allows you to

set the upper limit of

the note range to be

modified.

Parameter Setting Explanation

Track ADrums~Acc6,

ALL

Allows you to select

the track you wish to

edit. You can also

select “ALL” here, in

which case the opera-

tion applies to all

tracks.

Division Intro 1~4,

Main 1~4, Fill

Dwn 1~3, Fill

Up 1~3, End

1~4

Use this parameter to

select the Division you

want to edit.

Length Bar Use the

[CURSOR÷VALUE] dial

and the [ENTER/

SELECT] button to set

the length of the

selected pattern(s) in

steps of one bar. You

can also make an exist-

ing track longer by

specifying a “Bar”

value that lies beyond

the last notes.

Length Beat 1~[number of

beats per bar]

Specifies the beat posi-

tion. The number of

selectable beats

depends on the

selected time signa-

ture.

Length CPT This parameter allows

you to “fine-tune” the

length. In most cases,

you will probably work

with multiples of q

notes (i.e. 120CPT)

because 120CPT repre-

sent one beat of an X/4

bar (1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4,

etc.).
