Ten rhythms
Ten looping rhythms built from three drum sounds, from a two-beat March to an eighteen-beat Rhumba.
Press RHYTHM to start the selected rhythm and press it again to stop. Change the pattern with the red ◀ ▶ beside its name on the LCD; it switches straight away, even while it plays. The rhythm never takes over the keyboard, so you can always play over it.
The drums are three sounds, like the originals: a low click, the same click an octave higher, and a short burst of noise for the brush.

TEMPO▲ and TEMPO▼ move the tempo one BPM at a time between 40 and 240; hold either to sweep. BALANCE sets rhythm against melody: both at full level in the middle, the melody fading toward RHY, the rhythm fading toward MEL.
Step onto a Pro rhythm without Pro and the unlock sheet opens; if the rhythm is running, you hear the new pattern behind it. Close the sheet without buying and the rhythm goes back to the free one you had.
