ple bank selected for that pad.
C Track mute button

• .............The pad track is muted.
11
Move the cursor to the track mute button for
the track that you want to mute, and press
the [ENTER] key to switch the button to
(muted).
To cancel muting, move the cursor to the track mute
button and press the [ENTER] key once again.
Here we’ll describe how pad performances (pad events) can be recorded to the pad track via
offline (non-realtime) operation. Since pad events can be recorded at the beginning of each mea-
sure, this method is useful when you want to align pad timing with the top of each measure.
1
Either press the Quick Navigate section
[RECORD] key repeatedly, or use the CUR-
SOR [
]/[ ] keys while holding the
[RECORD] key to select the RECORD
screen PAD page.
2
Move the cursor to the GRID button and
press [ENTER].
The GRID REC popup window will appear. The pad
tracks will be displayed on a measure grid.
The grid symbols have the following meanings:
• .................. Measure in which a pad event is
already recorded.
• ● .................. Measure in which a pad event has
been recorded via grid recording.
• Blank ........... Measure in which no pad event is
recorded.
3
To enter a pad event, move the cursor to the
measure on the grid for which you want to
enter the event, then press the appropriate
pad.
“
●” will appear on the grid at the corresponding mea-
sure and pad track.
4
Press the pad a second time to turn the
event off.
The symbol at the corresponding grid point will disap-
pear (blank). If a previously-recorded pad event exists
at that point, however, pressing the pad will sequen-
tially select
→
● → Blank.
5
When you have finished editing, move the
cursor to EXEC and press [ENTER].
The grid recording will be executed, and the popup
window will close.
• If a pad track is muted and the pad is set to LOOP/TRIGGER,
the pad will play if you simply press the [PLAY] key to play
back the recorder. This means that you can use this feature
as a rhythm machine even without recording on a pad track.
HINT
Grid Recording (Step Recording) the Pads
• A maximum of 999 measures can be displayed/edited in the
GRID REC popup window.
NOTE
• Grid recording will not be executed until you move the cursor
to the EXEC button and press the [ENTER] key.
• If you edit a measure in which a pad event has already been
recorded, the results may not always be shown correctly on
the display.
