8Change the pattern numbers you want to use and
record them. While recording, without moving the
cursor from the Ptn No parameter, use Data Dial,
[INC]/[DEC], and the numeric keypad to set the
pattern numbers.
The patterns are recorded in measure units. When “off”
is selected for a measure, a pattern will not be recorded.
Make sure to record “end” at the end of a song. If “end”
is not recorded at the end, the song performance will
not end and the measure number continue to advance
until you press [STOP] key.
When in the Punch In recording, playback will proceed
as usual until the designated beginning measure is
reached, at that measure until the end measure, the data
will be recorded over (the original data is written over
and erased). When the end measure is reached, Punch
In record function is cancelled and playback continues
if there is recorded data past that point.
9Press [STOP] to stop recording and the EX5/5R/7
automatically returns to Song Play mode.
After you have finished recording, there are edit
functions that let you edit the pattern track data in the
Song Edit mode (page 201) and the Song Job mode
(page 206).
When the power is turned off, the song data is lost.
Please remember that important song data should be
saved to floppy disk or other optional backup device
(page 259).
Real Time Recording: PFX
The Pattern Play Effects real time recording function
records the effect of Play Effects for each track (1-8) of
the patterns that have been recorded on the song’s
Pattern Track. The groove of the patterns can be
changed in real time and then can be recorded. While
listening to the playback of the patterns, you can
change the Play Effects parameters by using the Knobs
1-6 and Data Dial and record them. There are the
following three types of recording modes available:
Over Dubbing, Replace, and Punch In.
1When in Song Play mode, press [REC] to enter Song
Record mode.
2Set the parameters necessary for recording, such as
the time signature, tempo, and metronome (Click), in
the SONG screen (see page 194).

with the Meas parameter.
4Select the PFX (Pattern Play Effects track) with the
Track parameter.
5Select the pattern track (1-8) to record the effect of
Play Effects with the Ptn Tr parameter.
If you want to record the Play Effects onto the all tracks
at one time, select “All” from the Ptn Tr parameter.
6Select one of the following recording modes: [F6]
(Over Dubbing), [F7] (Replace), [F8] (Punch In).
If you select Punch In, designate the beginning and end
measures for recording (see page 195).
7Press [PLAY], the pattern Play Effects settings screen
will be displayed and recording will begin after a two
measure countdown. The [PLAY] green light will
blink in sync with the metronome click.
During the two measure countdown, Meas (measure)
will display the countdown from –2 to –1.
8Change each parameter while recording. While
recording, move the cursor to the parameters you
want to edit and make changes using the Knobs 1-6.
Or move the cursor to a parameter, and you can use
Data Dial, [INC]/[DEC], or the numeric keypad to
change a value.
All parameter changes will be recorded at the exact
timing just as you change them. The parameters are the
same as those explained in the Song/Pattern Play
modes. For more information, see page 185.
When in the Punch In recording, playback will proceed
as usual until the designated beginning measure is
reached, at that measure until the end measure, the data
will be recorded over (the original data is written over
and erased). When the end measure is reached, the
Punch In record function is cancelled, and playback
continues if there is recorded data past that point.
