play information is recorded.
7.
To switch the drum sounds assigned to the status
keys 1 - 8, press the [SOLO] key and then turn the
dial to select the instrument bank number.
A combination of eight sounds assigned to the status keys is
called an "instrument bank". For one drum kit, you can use
up to three instrument banks. (For information on which
sounds are assigned to the status keys in the various banks,
see page 161.)
If you press the [SOLO] key while the [DRUM] key is lit,
the number of the currently selected instrument bank is
shown.
When you turn the dial to change the instrument bank
number, the drum sounds assigned to status keys 1 - 8 are
switched. To return to the original screen, press the [EXIT]
key.
H INT
• For most drum kits, instrument bank 1 contains the basic
drum sound. (The sound name is indicated by the letter
printed above the status keys 1 - 8.) When starting out with
an empty rhythm pattern, selecting this bank is
convenient.
• Depending on which drum kit is currently selected, the
sound type assigned to status keys 1 - 8 may be different.
Switch the drum kit if necessary (
→
P. 79).

Repeat steps 5 - 7 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.
9.
To edit the recorded contents after step input,
proceed as follows.
• To erase the performance of a specific drum sound
When you advance the record position with the PLAY [ R ]
key, the status key that is input at the current position lights
up. By holding down the [DELETE/ERASE] key and
pressing the lit key, you can erase the sound of that key. The
key goes out, and the playing information is erased from the
rhythm pattern.
N 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. Otherwise the start of a
note may be missed.
• Make sure that the sound to be erased is part of the
currently selected instrument bank.

[ P ] key.
