Writing a rhythm
pattern that
doesn’t fit the scale
Watching the [1]–[16] buttons
Even if the desired rhythm pattern
does not fit in a single pre-scale, you
can write it as follows.
11. To write the steps for another
instrument or for the accent, repeat
steps 9–10 to write the rhythm pattern.
12. When you’ve finished writing the
rhythm pattern, press the [START/
STOP] button.
The [1]–[16] buttons are arranged in
the order in which playback time flows
(from left to right).$
If a button is pressed, a note is
sounded at that step.$
When you’re writing a pattern, these
buttons operate as step number
buttons, not as rhythm select buttons.
When writing the pattern shown in this
illustration, the first measure and the
third measure can be written using
pre-scale 3; however, since the
second measure contains a triplet, it
cannot be written using pre-scale 3
(16 steps).$
In this case, divide the second
measure and consider it as two
measures, of which the first measure
can be written using pre-scale 1 (one
measure = 6 steps) and the second
measure can be written using pre-
scale 3 (one measure = 8 steps).
