2 Select the part, CHORD 1 or CHORD 2,
which you want to create for the
Rhythmic Chord pattern.
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].
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
Voice from the Voice Menu. The selected Voice is
called up for both the Upper and Lower keyboards.
NOTE
The Voice menu that appears here is not the same as the
one for the Voice Sections.
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 155.
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.
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 152; for information on Real Time
Write, see page 155.
You can also edit the entered Rhythmic Chord pattern
using the same method as in “Editing entered percussion
notes” (page 152). To change the gate time of the notes of
the Rhythmic Chord pattern, follow the instructions (see
page 158).
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.
