Rhythm Gate is an exercise for improving your timing along with a song or the metronome. When you strike with

perfect timing, the number buttons [5] and [6] flash together. When you strike too early or too late, no sound is

produced. Using Rhythm Gate can greatly help you improve your sense of rhythm!

TIPS

• Pressing the number buttons [2] to [9] while the

exercise is on standby or during the exercise allows

you to adjust the sensitivity to your timing accuracy

in striking the pads and making sound. The nar-

rower the range, the higher the difficulty level.

• The direction of the timing indicators for showing

“too slow” to “too fast” can be reversed. (Menu

Mode “Rhythm Gate indicator flipped”; page 52.)

• The exercise time can be adjusted. (Menu Mode

“Timer”; page 51.)

• You can set whether the pads produce sound

whenever they are struck or only when they are

struck exactly in time. (Menu Mode “Ignore Timing”;

page 51.)
