actual accent level. For example, if the instrument level
is set at 15 and the accent level for that instrument is
set at 05, then the actual accent level will be 20.
If the instrument level of an instrument is set to the
maximum 31 setting, no accenting of notes for that
instrument is possible. Once the accent level mode is
active, instruments can be selected and adjusted in any
sequence. Press the ACCENT LEVEL button a second
time to exit the accent level mode.

PATTERN OPERATIONS
Pattern Selection
The RX15 is capable of storing up to 100 different
patterns (00—99) in its internal pattern memory. Each
pattern can be a maximum of 99 bars in length.
As shipped, the RX15 pattern memory contains 37
simple factory-programmed patterns—in pattern
memories 00 through 36—that can be played
immediately.
To select a pattern the RX15 must be in the pattern
mode-this is the mode that is active when the RX15 is
initially turned on. The red LED indicator above the
PATTERN label on the green PATTERN/SONG selector is
lighted, and the LCD panel reads either “SELECT PTN
XX” (XX being the selected pattern number) or “PLAY
PTN XX:BRYY” (XX being the selected pattern number
and YY the currently playing bar of that pattern).
Two methods of pattern selection are available:
1) Selecting Patterns Using the -1/NO and +1/YES
Buttons
Pressing the +1/NO or +1/YES buttons decrements
(decreases) or increments (increases) the selected
pattern number by one, respectively. This method of
selection is easy when going to an adjacent or nearby
pattern number, but when selecting a pattern in a distant
number range, the direct numeric selection method is
quicker.
2) Direct Numeric Pattern Selection
The row of white buttons below the uppermost row of
buttons on the panel can be used for direct numeric
pattern number selection. Note that each button has a
number—from 0 to 9—printed in white above its top left
corner. Entering the desired pattern number using these
buttons immediately selects that pattern. Input must be
two digits-e.g. pattern 00 requires the 0 button to be
pressed twice, to select pattern number 7 you would
press the 0 button and then the 7 button (07).
