6.
Hit the pads while listening to the
metronome.
Your performance on the pads will be recorded as a drum
sequence according to the quantization setting. The intensity
with which you hit the pads will also be recorded.
When you reach the end of the pattern, the unit automatically
returns to the first measure, and real-time input continues.
● To change the pad bank during real-time input
Hold down the [SHIFT] key and press pad 9 (KIT/PROG)
to bring up the pad bank selection screen. Turn the dial to
select the pad bank. Press the [EXIT] key to return.
● To switch to a bass sequence during real-time
input
Press the [RHYTHM] status key repeatedly, until the key is
lit in red.
● To pause real-time input
Press the REC [
O] key during recording so that the key
flashes. You can now switch pad banks or tap the pads to
check which sound is assigned to each pad. To resume
recording, press the REC [
O] key once more so that the key
is again permanently lit.
HINT
• You can use step input to add to a rhythm pattern that was
created using real-time input.
• After concluding real-time input, you can change the quantize
setting and then record on top of the existing sequence.
(Changing the quantize value will not affect the existing playing
information.)
• Instead of tapping the pads, you can also input a pattern in real
time by using an external MIDI controller connected to the HD8/
HD16’s MIDI IN connector. For a list of pads and corresponding
MIDI note numbers, refer to the appendix at the end of this
manual.
7.
To edit the recorded contents during real-
time input, proceed as follows.
● To erase the performance of a specific pad
While holding down the [FUNCTION] key, press the pad
whose sound you want to erase. While you are holding
down both the [FUNCTION] key and the pad, the
performance of the corresponding pad is erased from the
rhythm pattern.
● To erase the performance of all pads
While holding down the [FUNCTION] key, press the
[RHYTHM] status key. While you are holding down both
keys, the performance of all pads is erased from the drum
sequence.
8.
When you have finished real-time recording,
press the STOP [ P ] key.
Rhythm pattern recording will stop. Press the PLAY [
R] key
to hear the pattern that you recorded.
NOTE
When you select an empty pattern and record it, the pattern
name “Pat xxx” (where xxx is the pattern number) is
automatically assigned. You can edit this pattern name as
necessary ( → p. 100).
For real-time input of a bass sequence, you play the pads of the
HD8/HD16.

At the rhythm pattern selection screen,
select an empty rhythm pattern number (or a
rhythm pattern for which only a drum
sequence has been input).

Press the [RHYTHM] status key repeatedly
until the key is lit in red.
