Inputting other event data
Once rhythm pattern information has been input to a rhythm
song, you can add various other information such as tempo
and rhythm section volume. Such data are called “event”
information.
1.
In rhythm song mode ([SONG/PATTERN] key lit),
verify that the [DRUM] key is lit.
2.
Press the REC [ O ] key.
Rhythm song step input becomes possible.
3.
Press the cursor up key repeatedly to bring up the
indication “EV →” on the display.
This screen lets you check which event information is
entered at the current point. The symbol after “EV
→” (such
as “Pt” or “TS”) denotes the type of event. Available events
and their symbols are listed in the table below.
H INT
• If no tempo information is input for the rhythm song, the
tempo currently set for the rhythm section will be used. To
ensure that a rhythm song will always play with the same
tempo, be sure to enter tempo information at the
beginning of the song.
• If desired, you can also adjust the tempo while a song is
playing by hitting the [TEMPO] key several times in
succession. Check the display to verify that the desired
tempo has been set.
4.
Move to the location at which you want to input a
new event.
You can change the input location in the following three
ways.
(1) Moving in steps of a measure
Use the cursor left/right keys to move to the beginning of the
preceding or following measure.
(2) Specify the location in beats
Use the REW [ T ]/FF [ Y ] keys to move to the beginning of
the preceding or following beat.
(3) Specify the location in 16th note units
Repeatedly press the cursor up key to bring up the indication
“EV →”, and turn the dial to move forward or backward in
12-tick (16th note) units. You can check the position using
the counter display.
H INT
The current position is shown to the right of the counter in
measures / beats / ticks.
5.
Use the cursor up/down keys to select the type of
event that you want to input.
If the event you select here has been input at the current
location, its value will be displayed. If there is no
corresponding event, the display will indicate “ ”. This
means that the previously input event will apply.
6.
Turn the dial to input the value.
The event type “TimSig” can only be input in units of
measures. When you turn the dial within a measure, the
position automatically jumps to the start of the next
measure, and the new event is input at that location.
N OTE
When you change the TimSig event, only the measure and
beat division within the pattern changes. The duration of the
entire rhythm pattern does not change.
7.
Input the other events in the same way.
