Creating a rhythm song
A rhythm song consists of a sequence of rhythm patterns
with programmed chord and tempo information. The
MRS-8 allows you to save up to 10 rhythm songs per
project. While the [SONG/PATTERN] key is lit, one of
these can be selected for editing or playing.
The following two methods are available for entering
rhythm pattern information into a rhythm song.
■ Step input
With this method, you line up rhythm patterns one by one
by specifying a pattern and the number of measures.
Input can be performed at any point in the song. It is also
possible to switch to another pattern while the previous
pattern is still playing. This mode is suitable for
specifying patterns in detail.
■ FAST (Formula Assisted Song Translator)
This method uses simple formulas to specify rhythm
pattern playback from start to end. The result is written to
the song in a single operation. Because input midway
through a song is not possible with this method, it is most
suitable for cases where the configuration of the entire
song has been decided beforehand.
HINT
There is no difference in the completed rhythm song due to
input method that was used, i.e. a song will be the same,
regardless of whether it was created using step input or the
FAST method. If necessary, you can first create a rough
version of a song using FAST and then perform detailed
editing using step input.
Out of the 10 available songs, select the rhythm song for
editing or playing as follows.
HINT
In the default condition of a project, all rhythm songs are
empty.
