CASIO CT-X3000 - 25. Creating A Simple Rhythm From Scratch

The ability to record your RHYTHMS really sets the CT-X3000 & CT-X5000 apart from other keyboards in this price range. But creating from scratch can be daunting (especially if you read the manual!) so this is a simple step by step approach that will help to get you started.
