Chapter 5. Creating a Pattern
You can create original patterns by recording your performance on the pads.
A pattern can be recorded in either of the following two ways.
Realtime Recording
In this method you strike the pads to record them while the pattern plays. The pattern will continue repeating,
and the data you input (i.e., your pad strikes) will be added to the pattern.
Even if your timing is not perfect, you can use the Quantize function to tighten up the timing. You can also input
from an external MIDI device as well as from the pads.
Step Recording
In this method you input notes one by one, in “non-realtime.”
1. Go to the Pattern Play screen (p. 15).
2. Press [ ] (Record) to get the RECORDING MENU screen.
[ ] (Record) will blink.
3. Press [F1] (REALTM) to get the REALTIME REC STANDBY (Realtime
Recording Standby) screen.
Alternatively, you can get the same result from the screen
of step 2 by moving the cursor to “Realtime Rec” and pressing [ENTER] or [ ] (Play).
4. Press TRACK [1]–[4] to select the track on which you intend to record.
The button you press will blink, and the track number will appear in the upper left of the screen.
You can also change tracks while recording.
5. Use [ ][ ] to select the parameter you want to set.
Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to set the parameter value.
You can use a slower tempo for easy input, and then revert to the desired tempo after you’ve
recorded the data.
If you decide to discontinue, press [EXIT].
