Song/Pattern Playing Block

This block lets you play the internal Rhythm Patterns or MIDI/Audio data saved to USB flash memory which is connected

to this instrument. The MIDI data of the Rhythm Pattern and USB flash memory is sent to the internal tone generator

block, and plays back the sounds.

Rhythm Pattern

This instrument features multiple Rhythm Patterns. The appropriate Rhythm Pattern is determined for each Performance.

This Pattern is played back using the Drum Voice assigned to Part 10 of the Performance.

Song

MIDI and Audio data saved in the root directory (page 60) of the USB flash memory can be played back as a Song on

this instrument. MIDI data uses the sounds of Parts 1 – 16 of the Performance for playback. Audio data is directly output

to the OUTPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks.

NOTE Only SMF (Standard MIDI File) MIDI data of format 0 can be used for playback on this instrument.

NOTE Only 44.1kHz/16-bit stereo WAV file audio data can be used for playback on this instrument.
