This section describes how to use the built-in rhythm function that plays realistic drum sounds in
various patterns.
Turn the [VALUE] knob.
The current setting (0 – 30) is shown briefly on the
display.
Press the RHYTHM [
R

The rhythm pattern tempo can be adjusted in the
range of 40 – 250 BPM (beats per minute).

Hit the [BANK UP·TAP] key once and then turn
the [VALUE] knob while the tempo value is being
shown on the display.
• To manually specify the tempo
Hit the [BANK UP·TAP] key at least twice in the
desired interval. The G1u automatically detects the
interval in which the key is pressed the second and
subsequent times, and sets the tempo accordingly
(tap tempo function).
While the above steps are carried out, the new tempo
value (40 – 250) is shown briefly on the display. For
values in the range from 100 to 199, a dot is shown in
the center, and for values of 200 and above, dots are
shown in the center and in the bottom right corner.
You can also use the foot switch (FS01) to specify the
tempo (
