Using the Rhythm Function
The GFX-5 incorporates 60 rhythm patterns which can be selected for playback. This is convenient for practice
or a quick jam session.
1.
To activate the rhythm function, press the
[RHYTHM] key in play mode.
The key lights up and rhythm pattern playback
starts. The [TEMPO/TAP] key flashes in sync with
the current tempo.
2.
To change the rhythm pattern, turn the
[VALUE] dial while the rhythm pattern
name is shown on the display.
3.
To change the tempo, press the [TEMPO/
TAP] key and then turn the [VALUE] dial.
When you press the [TEMPO/TAP] key, the current
tempo setting (BPM) appears on the display. While
this is shown, turning the [VALUE] dial will change
the tempo.
If you tap the [TEMPO/TAP] key repeatedly, the
interval of the last two taps is automatically
detected and taken as the new tempo (tap tempo
setting function).
HINT
The tempo set in this way can be synchronized
to the control waveform cycle for the ARRM
function (→ p. 20). It can also be linked to the
DELAY TIME parameter of the REV module (→ p.
34).
4.
To change the volume of the rhythm
sound, press the PARAMETER [
Q
]/[
W
]
keys during rhythm pattern playback to
bring up the indication “LVL xx” (where xx
is a number) on the display, and then turn
the [VALUE] dial.
The rhythm pattern playback volume changes.
HINT
By pressing one of the PARAMETER [Q]/[W]
keys repeatedly, you can cycle through the
rhythm pattern name, tempo, and playback
volume indication.
5.
To stop rhythm pattern playback, press
the [RHYTHM] key once more.
HINT
• When the GFX-5 is in manual mode (→ p. 16),
you can use the BANK [W] switch to bring up
the tempo indication on the display or to set
the tap tempo.
• If a rhythm pattern is played while editing a
patch, only the tempo can be changed.
