4. Pattern mode
Recording a phrase
You can specify a synth sound or rhythm sound for each part, and record a phrase
pattern for it.
If you want to erase the rhythm and phrase data of each part before
you create a pattern, refer to “Erasing the sequence data of a part”
(☞p.56).
Realtime recording
This method lets you use the drum pads or the Keyboard function
to record a new rhythm or phrase while you listening to the pattern.
Step recording
This method lets you use the step keys to create a sequence pattern
with pattern playback stopped. You can create a pattern by input-
ting the pitch and note length for each step, one at a time.
Recording a phrase during playback
(Realtime Recording)
You can record a rhythm pattern (using the drum part keys) or a synth part phrase
(using the step keys with the Keyboard function) by pressing the keys at the timing
at which you want the sound to play.
You can also sound the metronome while you record. (☞p.75 “Setting
the metronome”)

2. Press the [ ] cursor key until the display reads “(pattern name).”
Turn the dial to select the pattern you want to record.
