CLICK FUNCTION
FUNCTION то provide a metronome-type click during Pattern play or
write.
The Click function gives you an exact rhythm guide, for writing a Pattern in Real Time
or for play. It is heard via headphones or via a separate Click Output jack which can be
connected to your mixer or amplifier.
The Click can be set to sound once every 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16, 1/24 or 1/32
note. The pitch of the Click is higher on the first beat of each bar.
The Click rate can be set before or during any Pattern operations.
NOTE: After setting the Click function you must then press the key corresponding to the
function the RX5 was using prior to pressing CLICK, should you wish to return to that
function. For example, if you were writing in Real Time, press REAL TIME WRITE after
setting the Click function, so that you can continue writing.

jazz-type swing feel. It can ONLY be used with a Quantize rate of 1/8 or 1/16.
The Swing function works by delaying the off-beats in a bar. The amount of swing is
calculated by taking a quarter-note as 10096 With no swing, the off-beats will occur al
50%. You can set the amount of delay (swing) at five points between 54% (a very subtle
effect) and 7196 (a very pronounced swing).
