PLAYING ALONG WITH BEATS, RHYTHMS & PATTERNS
IMPORTANT: To play along with patterns, you must be in Learning Mode. If the LED under the
SONG/PATTERN button is not lit, press and hold PAGE/SELECT until it is.
1. Press one of the Learning Mode buttons to select how you want to play:
BEAT (BEA): Snare drum only
RHYTHM (RHM): Full kit
PATTERN (PTN): Full kit plus musical accompaniment
2. Use the < and > buttons to select the beat, rhythm, or pattern you want to practice.
3. To practice without being scored, press PLAY/PRACTICE (PRA will appear on the display). After a
count-in, the beat, rhythm, or pattern will repeat so you can practice it.
To play and be scored, press START/STOP. After a count-in (EXM will appear on the display), the
beat, rhythm, or pattern will play once without the drum part. Play the drum part as accurately as
possible. At the end, you will receive a score (SCO) based your accuracy. To improve your score,
practice the beat, rhythm, or pattern without being scored (see above) and try again!
Every practice is automatically recorded. Press and hold PLAY/PRACTICE for 2 seconds to hear the
playback of your practice (PLY). Press PLAY/PRACTICE again to stop playback.
Notes:
If EPY appears on the display, it means the memory is empty because no recording was made. Play while
scoring your performance (as described above) to record.
If FUL appears on the display, it means the module's memory became full while recording. You can
clear/overwrite the memory by simply making a new recording.
To adjust the Learning Mode settings:
Each Learning Mode has different adjustable settings. Press the desired Learning Mode button (BEAT,
RHYTHM, or PATTERN), then keep pressing PAGE/SELECT to cycle through the settings, and use the <
and > buttons to adjust their values:
BEAT (BEA):
o DRM: Drum volume
RHYTHM (RHM):
o LEV: Difficulty level
o DRM: Drum volume
PATTERN (PTN):
o LEV: Difficulty level
o ACC: Accompaniment volume
