The BFX-708 incorporates various realistic rhythms using a PCM sound source. There are 45

different rhythm patterns from which you can choose. This is great not only for parts practice

but also for simple play sessions.

1

To activate a rhythm pattern, press the

RHYTHM key in play mode, bypass/mute

mode, or edit mode. 

Rhythm playback starts. In play mode, the name

of the currently selected rhythm pattern appears

on the display, and the BANK/PATCH indicator

shows the pattern number. During rhythm pattern

playback, the rhythm LED flashes in the tempo of

the rhythm. 

2

To stop rhythm pattern playback, press the

RHYTHM key once more. 

3

To change the rhythm pattern type, tempo,

or volume, operate parameter knobs 1 - 3

in play mode. 

The knobs operate as follows. 

When a parameter knob is operated during rhythm

pattern play, the content of the BANK/PATCH

indicator changes temporarily. 

• The settings for rhythm pattern, tempo, and

volume level are reset to the default values
when the unit is turned off and on again. 

• The tempo value can also be changed with

the MODULE 

/

keys. In this case, the

value changes in 1-step units. 

• The TYPE (BANK) 

/

keys can be used to

change the pattern type.
