As an aid to improving your timing, Rhythm Gate displays on-screen any variation in the timing
of your drumming. If you do not strike a pad in time with the metronome or song, it will not pro-
duce any sound. Two different training styles are available—the first uses the metronome; the sec-
ond lets you play along with a song. When you have finished training, your score will be
displayed on-screen.

Training procedure
1.
Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [KIT]
button to access Training Mode.
2.
Turn the Data Dial to select “02:Rhythm Gate”.
The [ ] and [ ] buttons will start flashing, indicating that the drum module is
on standby to start training.
3.
Press either the [ ] or [ ] button when you are
ready to go.
If you press the [ ] button, the current song will be used for training. If you
press the [ ] button, the metronome will be used.
4.
Play the pads as tightly as you can along with the
metronome or song.
A pad will only produce a sound if you strike it while the gate is open. The width of
the gate represents the difficultly level.
