programming rhythms/rhythm patterns

17 Mar 2004, 15:02

I guess this is a pretty basic question, but after much searching the manual and playing with the FS, I can't figure it out. I want to be able to assign a different rhythm pattern, say for example Rock 1-2, 1-6, Funk 2-1 and 2-4 to different pads, selected by me, so that during the recording of a song (or live performance) I can make rhythm changes and breaks with a touch of a pad. Obviously, I'd like to do this with my own created rhythm patterns too. (I may be using the term wrong, the FS terminology is a little confusing to me, sometimes referring to a set of sounds as a "Rhythm" - I mean a groove or beat pattern such as those quoted.) I'd also like to be able to associate these pad assignements with a Performance.

Thanks for your lights

ARP/RHYTHM -> hit SELECT/EDIT -> Rhythm Group -> press a pad -> choose rhythm pattern -> press next pad -> choose another pattern -> ... repeat till you have the setup you want -> hit WRITE and save this rhythm pattern set to USER location of your choice

Ah, thanks, Artemio. That got me going in the right direction. You did leave out one step, which is you have to press regular "edit" - on the right of the screen - after you've gone into the Rhythm Group. Thanks!

Yes, sorry, I missed that button push... but you guessed yourself, that's great!

Good luck!
