• Repeat multiple patterns
Use the “(“ and “)” symbols (opening and closing
brackets) to link a group of patterns for repetition.
Formulas enclosed in brackets take precedence over other
formulas. For example, entering 0 + (1 + 2) x 2 + 3 will
result in the following rhythm pattern play sequence.
An example for creating the rhythm pattern sequence
0 + (1+2) x 4 is shown below.
HINT
• If the formula does not fit on two lines, the indication scrolls
by one character each. If you use the cursor left/right keys to
move the input position, the line scrolls left and right
accordingly.
• For FAST input, the leading zeros 0 and 00 can be omitted. For
example, pattern 001 is specified as “1”, and pattern 050 as
“50”.
• The entered formula is saved as part of a project. By calling up
the formula later, you can edit it or use it to write the song.
NOTE
• The FAST method can only be used to write a song in one go,
from beginning to end. Entering rhythm patterns partly into
the song is not possible.
•To edit a rhythm song that was written with this method, edit
the formula and then write the entire song again, or use step
input.
