Creating a Rhythm Set
 
Cautions When Using a Loop 
Waveform
 
With many acoustic instruments such as piano and sax, extreme 
timbral changes occur during the first few moments of each note. 
This initial attack is what defines much of the instrument’s character. 
For such waveforms, it is best to use the complex tonal changes of 
the attack portion of the waveform just as they are, and to use the 
envelope only to modify the decay portion. If you attempt to use the 
envelope to modify the attack portion as well, the characteristics of 
the original waveform may prevent you from getting the sound that 
you intend.

This section explains the functions the different rhythm set 
parameters have, as well as the composition of these parameters.
 
For details on these settings, refer to 
 
“How to Make Rhythm 
Set Settings”
 
 (p. 71).
 
Rhythm Level applies to the entire rhythm set; the other 
parameters are set individually for each rhythm tone.
 
Rhythm General
 
Rhythm Level (Rhythm Set Level)
 
Sets the volume of the rhythm set.
 
Value:
 
 0–127
 
The volume levels of the tones from which the rhythm set is 
composed is set with the Tone Level parameter (p. 80). The 
volume levels of the Waves from which the rhythm tone is 
composed is set with the Wave Level parameter (p. 76).
 
Rhythm Tone Name
 
You can assign a name of up to 12 characters to the rhythm tone.
Use [ ][ ] to move the cursor, and use the VALUE dial to select a 
character.
 
Value:
 
  space, A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ! " # $ % & ’ ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ 
\ ] ^ _ ` { | } 
 
For details on assigning names, refer to 
 
“Assigning a Name”
 
 
(p. 39)
 
Assign Type
 
Assign Type sets the way sounds are played when the same key is 
pressed a number of times.
 
Value
MULTI:
 
Layer the sound of the same keys. Even with continuous 
sounds where the sound plays for an extended time, 
such as with crash cymbals, the sounds are layered, 
without previously played sounds being eliminated.
 
SINGLE:
 
Only one sound can be played at a time when the 
same key is pressed. With continuous sounds where 
the sound plays for an extended time, the previous 
sound is stopped when the following sound is played.
