Roland TR-505 - 7 About

7. About Last Step and Scale
The default setting is 4/4 time. That is, whenever a
rhythm pattern is erased, the
TR-505 autonnatically
selects 4/4 time.
This
can be
always seen in the Dis-
play.

The above picture shows that four steps are assigned
to a quater note, this
means that
a step
is
a
sixteenth
note. In this case, it is not possible to write a
rhythm
pattern with
thirty-second notes or shuffle or swing
which use triplets. To
solve this problem, the TR-505
features 4 different scales.
