CREATING RHYTHM SONGS
a Te
First we will explain some important points to remember when creating rhythm songs.
Parts and patterns
A rhythm song is created by inputting rhythm pattern
numbers into “parts”. These “parts” are numbered 001,
002, 003 ..., and are played back in order. Suppose we
input the following rhythm patterns into the first five
parts.
Part 001 = Pattern [00 (a one-measure pattern)
Part 002 = Pattern P12 (a one-measure pattern)
Part 003 = Pattern [00 (a one-measure pattern)
Part 004 = Pattern P12 (a one-measure pattern)
Part 005 Pattern I02 (a two-measure pattern)

This would play back as follows.
Part 001 Part002 Part 003 Part 004 Part 005
100 p2 [oo {Pz fioo
Note:
Parts extend from 001 to 999. As in the above example,
the number of parts in a song is not necessarily the
same as the number of measures in the song.
Special non-pattern functions
We have explained that a pattern is assigned to each
part, but in addition to this, repeat, volume change,
tempo change, and mark data can also be assigned to
a part.
(1) Repeat (begin, end)
The area surrounded by a repeat begin || and repeat
end :|| mark will be played the specified number of times.
Specify a repeat as follows.
[l:] [Parts to be repeated] [i| x Times]
L— Number of repeats
72 Using the rhythm machine
The following is an example of how repeat marks can
be used.
Part 001 = |:
Part 002 = PTN 100
Part 003 = PTN P12
Part 004 = || x 2
When this song is played, the actual playback will be
as follows.
Part 002 Part003 Part002 Part 003 Part002 Part 003

Note:
Repeat marks can be nested as follows.
[ik] [part] -- [part] [ |: ] [part] — [part] DII E]
(2) Volume change
This specifies a change in the rhythm machine volume
during the song. Specify a volume change as follows.
[Vol + Amount of change]
t The amount of change in volume
+ indicates an increase in volume,
— indicates a decrease in volume
The following is an example of how volume changes can
be used.
Part 001 = PTN 100
Part 002 = Vol + 25
Part 003 = PTN P12
When this song is played, after playing the pattern for
part 1, the volume will increase slightly, and the pattern
for part 3 will be played.
Note:
Volume change is specified as an increase or decrease
in the instrument setting rhythm volume (R.Vol).
However it is not possible to exceed the present
rhythm volume (R.Vol). If you want to raise the
volume in the middle of the song, insert a volume
decrease at the beginning of the song.
