To enter a note, hit the pad corresponding to the

note, and then press the [STEP] key.

The note is recorded, and the unit advances by one step,

corresponding to the quantize value set in step 4. You can

also use the [BANK/OCTAVE] key to select a different pad

bank before hitting a pad.

INT

• The intensity with which you hit the pad is also recorded

on the drum track.

• If you hit several pads during input, multiple sounds will be

recorded at the same position.

• Instead of tapping the pads, you can also input sounds by

using a MIDI controller connected to the MRS-1266’s MIDI

IN connector.

To enter a rest, press only the [STEP] key.

If you press the [STEP] key by itself, the position advances by

one step (duration of quantize value) but no play information

is recorded.

Repeat steps 5 - 6 while changing the step length

as necessary, to enter the desired rhythm pattern.

When you reach the end of the pattern, the unit automatically

returns to the first measure, letting you enter more instrument

sounds.

To edit the drum track after step input, proceed as

follows.

■ To erase the performance of a specific pad
When you advance the record position with the [STEP] key,

the pad that is input at the current position lights up. By

holding down the [DELETE/ERASE] key and pressing the

lit pad, you can erase the sound of that pad. The pad goes out,

and the playing information is erased from the rhythm

pattern.

OTE

When searching for a note to erase, set the quantize value to

the same value as the smallest value used during recording,

or to a smaller value.

When you have finished step input, press the STOP

[

] key.

The unit returns to the rhythm pattern screen. Press the

PLAY [

] key to hear the pattern that you recorded.

10.

To terminate pattern recording and return to the

main screen, press the [EXIT] key.
