Rhythm pattern playback starts. The display
shows the currently selected pattern, and the
[BANK/PATCH] indicator briefly shows the
pattern number. The [RHYTHM] LED flashes
in sync with the rhythm pattern tempo.
2.
Use parameter knobs 1 – 3 to control
rhythm pattern play.
In play mode, parameter knobs 1 – 3 have the
following functions.
When you operate a parameter knob during
rhythm pattern play, the indication on the
display and [BANK/PATCH] indicator changes
temporarily.
• You can also switch patches during rhythm
pattern playback.
• You can also play a rhythm pattern in the
bypass/mute condition and in the edit mode, but
the parameter knobs cannot be used to control
the rhythm pattern in this case.
• The tempo and volume settings revert to the
default condition when the unit is turned off and
on again.
• You can also use the TYPE [
W
]/[
Q
] keys to
change the pattern type.
• You can also change the tempo with the
MODULE [
E
]/[
R
] keys.

press the [

It is also possible to store a rhythm pattern for
specific patches. When you have assigned
rhythm patterns to patches and you set the

will be switched together with the patches (
