Adjusting the difficulty level
With Rhythm Gate, you can reduce the width of the gate to make training more difficult and
vice-versa.
1.
With “02:Rhythm Gate” selected on the training
menu page (TRNG1), press the [>] button.
The TRNG2 page will be displayed.
2.
Turn the Data Dial to adjust the width of the gate.
The wider the gate, the easier it is to produce a sound by striking the pads and vice-
versa.
3.
Press the [<] button to return to the training menu
page (TRNG1).
With Measure Break training, the metronome will be muted for certain measures in a sequence.
For example, by setting the measures during which you play fills to be muted in this way, you can
check for any deviation in your timing when the metronome returns. This will help you to play at
a constant tempo throughout your performances. When you have finished training, your score will
be displayed on-screen.
