VARIATION [1], [2], [3], [4]
These buttons are used to select the complexity
(number of parts) of the rhythm’s arrangement:
Note that the VARIATION patterns are repeated
(played back in a loop) until select a different pattern
or stop rhythm playback.
INTRO
Selects an introduction, which is usually used at the
beginning of a song. You can, however, also select
this pattern for other song sections. The behavior of
the Intro pattern depends on when you press the
[INTRO] button:
There are, in fact, four different INTRO patterns, that
can be selected using the VARIATION [1], [2], [3] and
[4] buttons. Again, the VARIATION buttons determine
the complexity of the intro arrangement.
ENDING
This button allows you to end your songs with a suit-
able closing section if you don’t want to simply stop
playback. The behavior of the Ending pattern depends
on when you press the [ENDING] button:
Sync Start/
Stop
Lights green Rhythm playback can be
started by playing a note or
chord. Playback will stop when
you release all keys.
Dark Rhythm playback needs to be
started and stopped using the
[START/STOP] button (or the
assigned optional footswitch).
VARIATION
Explanation
[1] The simplest accompaniment pattern. A
good choice for the first of the songs you
play.
[2] A slightly more complex pattern you may
want to use for subsequent verses.
[3] This pattern would be a good choice for
the first chorus.
[4] This is the most complex arrangement.
Consider selecting it for the bridge or the
final chorus sections of a song.
