heard. The current position in the rhythm pattern is shown on
the display in measures/beats/ticks.
HINT
The beat and the volume of the pre-count clicks can be
changed ( → p. 124).
6.
Hit the pads while listening to the
metronome.
Your performance on the pads will be recorded as a bass
sequence according to the quantization setting. The duration
for 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 scale and key/range during real-
time input
Hold down the [SHIFT} key and press pad 9 (KIT/PROG)
to bring up the scale and key/range selection screen. Press

key/range.

input
Press the [RHYTHM] status key repeatedly, until the key is
lit in green.

Press the REC [
O] key during recording so that the key
flashes. You can now switch the range and scale or tap the
pads to check which note is assigned to each pad. To resume
recording, press the REC [
O] key once more so that the key
is again permanently lit.

• Instead of tapping the pads, you can also input a bass pattern
by using an external MIDI controller connected to the HD8/
HD16’s MIDI IN connector.
• 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.)

corresponding pad is erased from the rhythm pattern.

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.
