rhythm pattern you like.
In the same way as above, write accents by tapp-
ing the Accent Key
®.
If
you
wish
to tap the Main Keys without writing
into
memory, turn the composer to the Manual
Play mode.
The shortest
note
here
is a 1 6th note, and if you
tap too slowly or quickly,
it
will
be
automatically
written in the
exact
tempo of
the
1
6th
note.

Even while rhythm is running, you can change
from
Step Writing

Writing, simply
by
pushing the Mode Key. So, if you
have made an
error in Tap Writing mode, you can
immediately
turn
the
composer
to
the
Step
Writing mode and
correct
the error
wihout affecting any other part of
the pattern data.
To the contrary, you can add a
more complecated rhythm in
the Tap Writing
mode to the rhythm pattern written
in the
Step
Writing mode.
If
you
wish
to
write more rhythm patterns, take
the steps
®
and
®
in "Before
start
writing" on
page 1

then repeat the Tap Writing operation.
To
play the rhythm pattern you
have written,
go to
"Pattern Playing Mode" on page 23.
