Part II Playing the rhythm

Overview of rhythm performance

An explanation follows of the terms related to this instrument’s rhythm performance.

Playing the rhythm

Rhythm and accompaniment pattern

Each rhythm is comprised of not only a DRUMS pattern, but also of accompaniment patterns called BASS and ACCOMP. The combination of all of these is the rhythm.

• The accompaniment pattern sounds when you perform using the AUTO PLAY CHORD (APC). (Refer to page 52.).

Rhythm and Style

One rhythm of this instrument is comprised of four VARIATION patterns, and for each one the optimum sounds and effects are set. All of these together comprise one STYLE.

Part V Composer Outline of the Composer

The COMPOSER enables you to create your own accompaniment patterns. A pattern is comprised of 8 parts: DRUMS 1, 2, BASS and ACCOMP1–5 parts. These parts would form the backing of a song.

Rhythm components which can be stored

Different INTRO 1, 2, VARIATION 1 to 4, FILL IN 1, 2 patterns can be created for each MEMORY (A, B, C).

• Each VARIATION is made of a PATTERN, FILL 1 and FILL 2.

• A Maj (major) and Min (minor) pattern is available for each of the INTRO and ENDING 1 and 2.

INTRO VARI 1 VARI 2 VARI 3 VARI 4 ENDING

1 Maj 1 Min 2 Maj 2 Min

PATTERN FILL IN 1 FILL IN 2

1 Maj 1 Min 2 Maj 2 Min

Memory capacity

Expressed in terms of notes, the total number of notes which can be stored in all the COMPOSER memories is about 13,000. The remaining memory available for recording is shown on the recording display as a percentage (%).

• When “Memory full!” appears on the display no more data can be stored in the COM-

POSER.

MEMORY

䡲䡲䡲䡲

Because the contents of the MEMORY are erased after the power is turned off, you should save the data on disks/SD cards if you wish to keep it. (Refer to pages 125, 140.)

Part XIII MIDI What is MIDI?

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of electronic musical instrument data. This means that any equipment which has a MIDI terminal—such as electronic musical instruments and personal computers—can easily exchange digital data with other MIDI equipment without resorting to complicated conversions or connections.

MIDI terminals

(On the rear panel) IN:

The terminal by which this instrument receives data from other equipment.

OUT:

The terminal that transmits data from this

instrument to other equipment.

• For these connections, use a commercially available MIDI cable.

Part XIII MIDI

MIDI channels

Many different kinds of performance data are sent using just one MIDI cable. This is possible because MIDI signals are sent and received through 16 different “basic channels” (numbered 1 to 16). In order for the exchange of data to take place, the channels on the transmission side must match the channels on the receiving side. This characteristic also makes it possible to link

MIDI

multiple sound generators and to control each by matching specific channels.

The following kinds of data can be transmitted/received.

NOTE data

䡲䡲䡲䡲

This is the most basic kind of MIDI data which is exchanged, and is used to specify which keys are played and how hard they are played.

NOTE NUMBER: Number specifying which key

is played. NOTE ON: Specifies that a key is played. NOTE OFF: Specifies that a key is released. VELOCITY: Specifies how hard a key is struck.

• MIDI notes are assigned numbers from 0 to

127, with middle C (C3) as 60. Note pitches

are in semitone increments, with the higher

numbers assigned to the higher pitches.

PROGRAM CHANGE

䡲䡲䡲䡲

This is sound change data. When a different sound is selected on the transmitting instrument, the sound on the receiving instrument also changes.

CONTROL CHANGE

䡲䡲䡲䡲

These are volume, sustain, effect, etc. data used to enhance performance expression. Each function is distinguished by its control number, and the function which can be changed by the control differs depending on the instrument.

EXCLUSIVE data

䡲䡲䡲䡲

This is data that is specific to this instrument, and data for the GENERAL MIDI LEVEL 2 mode setting.

Standard MIDI File format

Loading Technics File format disks

䡲䡲䡲䡲

Using Technics file format disks allows you load new SOUND EDIT, rhythm & accompaniments, PANEL MEMORY, PERFORMANCE PADS and Song data into your instrument to expand its potential even further.

About Standard MIDI Files

䡲䡲䡲䡲

“Standard MIDI File” (SMF) is a standardized data format which makes it possible for music data to be exchanged among different sequencers. Data stored in this format on sequencers of different models can be played back on this instrument, and vice versa. Note, however, that Standard MIDI Files ensure the compatibility of data such as NOTE data (keyboard performance data), VELOCITY (how hard the keyboard is played), PROGRAM NUMBER data (voice number data), etc. Because it does not guarantee 100% faithful reproduction of recorded music which is replete with such data, it may be necessary for you to adjust the settings to your satisfaction.

• Only files with the “.MID” extension can be loaded.

• Standard MIDI File FORMAT 1 can be loaded, but not saved.

• This instrument’s SEQUENCER data can be saved to a disk in Standard MIDI File (FORMAT 0) and can be used by other equipment.

Playback of commercial song disks

DIRECT PLAY lets you enjoy playing commercially sold song disks directly from a disk. It’s fast because you don’t have to load the disk data into your instrument’s memory.

• DIRECT PLAY is possible from the following disks:

Standard MIDI File

Standard MIDI File with Lyrics

SMF with LYRICS

䡲䡲䡲䡲

SMF with LYRICS is a format in which character information that is included with the MIDI data, such as karaoke lyrics, can be displayed. This instrument supports this format, making it possible to view the lyrics on the display while a performance is played back.

GENERAL MIDI LEVEL 2 (GM2)

䡲䡲䡲䡲

This instrument complies with GENERAL MIDI (GM) LEVEL 2 standards. GM LEVEL 2 is a uniform world standard for MIDI sound generators that improves on existing GM standards, in order to realize an enhanced performance expression. Sound generators of this class can reproduce virtually the identical conditions that were in effect at the time of recording. Equipment which conforms to GENERAL MIDI LEVEL 2 standards is indicated by the following logo.
