As mentioned a few times already in this site, Zoom use the word 'Song' to mean a collection of rhythm patterns placed in order to accompany your project. IE: the drum and bass line for your project. The MRS-8's built in Rhythm track can be programmed with a wide array of info. You can make changes at any part of the progression. These are called events. These events can affect:
So using the Song Mode, instead of the pattern just repeating as it did in Pattern Mode, We can construct a complete backing track that follows the changes in your song. The Rhythm Track also has 10 Virtual takes in the same way as the real tracks. This can be used to make multiple versions of a rhythm progression and select the best later. Before we get in to that stuff. Lets put a few Patterns together. Building a Rhythm Song There are two ways to build a rhythm song. The easiest is by using the FAST system. Or, for more detailed control of the patterns, use the "Step Input system" (Guide coming soon. Until then, ask at the Forum) |
