Playing and recording rhythm
styles (Rhythm mode)
The STAGEMAN 80 has twenty-four built-in rhythm styles.
You can sing or perform on an instrument while a rhythm
style is being played. Your performance can also be recorded
on the recorder along with the rhythm style.
Let’s try out rhythm styles of various genres.

1.
Press the [RHYTHM] button to enter Rhythm mode (the
button lights up).
2. Set the VOLUME knob to a fairly low level, and set the
RHYTHM/PLAY knob to about the 3 o’clock position.
The STAGEMAN 80 has a relatively loud maximum
output, so be careful of the volume settings when you
begin playing.
3.
Use the [(1) 8 BEAT1]–[(24) SAMBA] buttons to select a
rhythm style.
The button of the selected rhythm style will light up.
4. Press the [
] button to play the rhythm style.
During playback, the LED above the [
] button is lit
up. The [M1]–[M8] buttons blink to indicate the currently-
playing measure of the rhythm style.
5. Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the volume.
6. Use the VALUE dial to set the tempo.
You can set the tempo in a range of
q
=48–240.
The display indicates the tempo value.
Tip:
When rhythm playback is stopped, you can also set
the tempo by pressing the [TAP/END] button several
times.
7.
If you press the button of a different rhythm style,
playback switches to the newly selected rhythm style at
the top of the next measure.
Note:
Press the button slightly ahead of time so that the
rhythm style will be ready to switch.
8. Press the [
] button to stop playback.
Tip:
You can use the chain function to create the rhythm
framework for an entire song and play it consecutively
see page 20 "Chain function").
Switching variations, and inserting a fill-
in or ending
Each rhythm style provides two variations. Each variation has
three rhythm patterns: basic, fill-in 1, and fill-in 2.

Press the [VAR] button to switch variations of the

LED goes dark).

During playback, press the [F1] or [F2] button.
A fill-in plays when the measure changes (the LED lights),
and then the basic rhythm pattern returns.
Tip:
From the stopped condition, you can press the [F1] or
[F2] button to start playback with a fill.
4.
During playback, press the [TAP/END] button.
At the next measure, an ending is played and then the
rhythm style stops.

rhythm style playback while you play your instrument.
