Rhythm mode

Creating a chain
1. Press the [Chain/Playlist] buon to turn on the chain
function (the buon lights up).
2. Use the [F1] buon and [F2] buon to select the chain
bank.
You can create up to 30 banks of chains. When the
STAGEMAN 80 starts up, the rst chain (C01) is selected.
3. Hold down the [Chain/Playlist] buon until it blinks.
The three buons [Chain/Playlist], [Set/OK], and [Clear/
Cancel] blink, indicating that you can now register a
rhythm style for each measure.
The LED of the [
] buon blinks when the rhythm
style is playing.
The display indicates the measure number. The [M1]–[M8]
buons blink as a guide to eight-measure units of the
specied measure location.
If you’ve selected a chain where a rhythm style is already
registered, you’ll hear the rhythm style that is registered at
the rst measure or at the specied measure.
If no rhythm style has yet been registered for the chain,
you’ll hear the “8 BEAT1” rhythm style, which is registered
by default for the rst measure.
4. Specify the tempo.
5. Use the [(1) 8 BEAT1]–[(24) SAMBA] buons, [VAR]
buon, [F1] buon, and [F2] buon to specify the rhythm
style, variation, and ll-in that you want to register.
6. Press the [Set/OK] buon to conrm registration of the
rhythm style.
The rhythm style is registered to that measure, and
you move to the next measure. For measures where the
registration has been completed, the corresponding buon
([M1]–[M8]) changes to steadily lit up.
7. To specify the measure where you want to register a
rhythm style, use the [
] or [ ] buon.
8. Repeat steps 5–7 to continue the registration process.
You can register rhythm styles for up to 999 measures in
one chain.
9. To cancel the rhythm style of the specied measure, press
the [Clear/Cancel] buon.
The [M1]–[M8] buon corresponding to that measure goes
dark.
10. If you want to add one measure before the specied
measure, hold down the [Set/OK] buon for
approximately one second. If you want to delete the
specied measure, hold down the [Clear/Cancel] buon
for approximately one second.
11. To register the position of the last measure, press the
[ ] buon to make the LED go dark, and then press
the [Set/OK] buon. If you want to register an ending
paern to end the performance, press the [TAP/END]
buon to make the LED light up, and then press the
[Set/OK] buon.
12. When you are nished registering rhythm styles, press
the [Chain/Playlist] buon (the buon lights up).
All seings and the tempo are conrmed at this time.
13. To hear the newly created chain from the rst measure,
press the [VAR] buon to return to the rst measure, and
then press the [
] buon to play back.
Playing the chain you created
1. With the [Chain/Playlist] buon lit up, press the
[ ] buon.
The registered rhythm styles play, starting from the rst
measure. When playback reaches the last measure, it stops.
During playback, you can press the [ ] buon to
pause. Press the buon once again to resume playback
from the paused location.
If you press the [VAR] buon during playback, playback
stops and you return to the rst measure.
Deleting all rhythm styles registered to the entire
chain
1. Use the [F1] and [F2] buons to select the chain from
which you want to delete all the rhythm styles you
registered.
The number of the selected chain (C**) appears in the
display.
2. Hold down the [Delete] buon until it lights.
The [Set/OK] and [Clear/Cancel] buons blink. The chain
number shown in the display blinks.
3. Press the [Set/OK] buon.
When the [Delete] buon goes dark, deletion is complete.
The chain now has the default seings (the 8 BEAT1
rhythm style is registered).
Metronome function
This lets you sound the metronome in the time signature and
tempo that you specify.
1. Press the [Metronome] buon to turn on the metronome
(the buon lights up).
2. Use the [(1) 8 BEAT1]–[(16) BLUES2] buons to select a
sound for the metronome.
3. Use the VALUE dial to set the tempo of the metronome.
Tip: You can also use the [TAP/END] buon to set the
tempo.
4. Use the RHYTHM/PLAY knob to adjust the volume of
the metronome.
Note: The sound of the metronome is not recorded even if
you record while the metronome is playing.
Note: In Rhythm mode, you can choose whether to play the
metronome or a rhythm style. If the metronome is playing,
pressing the [
] buon turns the metronome o, and
switches to rhythm style playback.
In Recorder mode, only the metronome can be used. In Player
mode, neither can be used.
About the metronome time signature
The metronome time signature is normally set to 4/4 (while
you hold down the [Metronome] buon, the display shows
“04:04”). If you want to change the time signature, hold down
the [Metronome] buon and turn the VALUE dial. You can
choose from the following time signatures: 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 7/4,
5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, and 12/8.
