Rhythms and Tempo Controls


The QChord's ten preset rhythms are as follows:

bossanova
Country
Dance
Jazz
New age
March
Waltz
Ballad
Rock; and
Blues shuffle.
When the QChord is first turned on, the rhythm is bossanova (rhythm 1). Press the rhythm select down button. The selected rhythm is now country (rhythm 2). Pressing the rhythm select down button again will choose the dance rhythm (rhythm 3). If you have selected blues shuffle and want to go back to bossanova, hold down the rhythm select up button for a second or two, and you will be back where you started. This is an excellent way to go back and forth to either end of the spectrum, but is not great when you're visually impaired and need to end up somewhere in the middle. The only solution to this dilemma, unfortunately, is to count. Perhaps the "rhythm select up" button is more correctly named rhythm select previous, because it selects previous, or lower numbers. The "rhythm select down" button, on the other hand, could be called the "rhythm select next" button, as it chooses higher numbered rhythms.


Tempo Controls


The tempo up/down controls are just to the right of the rhythm volume controls and are used to speed up or slow down the rhythm and bass. According to Suzuki, there are 40 tempo settings. It is probably best to start from the instrument's power-on defaults and count how many times you pressed the tempo up or down button when choosing the correct tempo for a particular song. You may well need to keep a small notebook, which contains the settings you have written down for each of the songs you regularly play or perform.
