Chapter 5. Creating a Pattern
There are two types of step recording; “step recording note,” where you specify the length of the notes to input,
and “step recording sample,” where input will proceed in steps equal to the actual length of the samples.
1. Go to the Pattern Play screen (p. 15).
2. Press [ ] (Record) to get the RECORDING MENU screen.
[ ] (Record) will blink.
3. Press [F2] (NOTE) to get the STEP REC NOTE STANDBY (Step
Recording Note Standby) screen.
Alternatively, you can get the same result from the screen
of step 2 by pressing [
] to move the cursor to “Step Rec Note” and pressing [ENTER].
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.
5. Use [ ][ ] to select the parameter you want to set.
Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to set the parameter value.
6. Press [F3] (START) to get the STEP RECORDING NOTE screen.
The upper line of the screen shows the “measure-beat-tick” at which the note will be input.
7. Use [ ][ ] to select the parameter you want to set.
Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to set the parameter value.
8. Strike the pad that contains the sample you want to input.
If you want to use a sample from a different pad bank, press [PAD BANK] and switch the pad bank (p. 23).
Press [F1] (TIE) to create a tie from the previously input note.
Press [F2] (REST) to input a rest.
Press [F3] (BACK) to delete the previously input note.
9. Repeat steps 7–8 to input more notes as desired.
10. Press [ ] (Stop) to return to the Play screen.
You can execute Undo/Redo by holding down [FUNC] and pressing [ ] (Top) (p. 15).
