Step Recording

Here’s how to create a pattern by recording your keyboard performance one step

at a time. The newly recorded notes are added to the selected pattern.

[01]–[16] button

The button of the part being recorded is blinking.

Use the Part Select buttons to select the part that you want to

record.

Press the [Step Rec] button.

The [01] button blinks.

The following screen is shown until you stop recording.

Step Rec

Velocity:Real

You can use the Cursor [

] [

] buttons to select a parameter, and use the Value

[-] [+] buttons to edit the value of that parameter.

Parameter

Cursor [

] [

]

Value

Value [-] [+]

Velocity

(keyboard dynamics)

Real (the actually-played dynamics),
1–127 (fixed dynamics)

Gate Time

(duration of the note)

5–100%

Play one note on the keyboard.

That note is recorded at step 1. The position automatically advances to step 2,

and the [02] button blinks.

You can record a chord by selecting multiple notes.

Repeat step 3 to record each step.

MEMO

To erase the data at a step (or to enter a rest), press the [Erase] button.

To enter a tie, press the ARPEGGIO [Key Hold] button.

To change the step that you’re recording, press one of the [01]–[16]

buttons.

To change measures, hold down the [Shift] button and press one of the

[01]–[04] buttons (if the scale setting is 32nd notes, press one of the

[01]–[08] buttons).

If you want to change the number of measures, refer to “Changing the

Number of Measures” (p. 10).

Press the [Step Rec] button to stop recording.

Saving a Pattern

A pattern you create will disappear if you select a different program or

if you power-off the JD-Xi. When you’ve created a pattern that you like,

you should save it as a program.

“Saving a Sound (Program) (WRITE)” (p. 9)

Recording Methods Other Than TR-REC, Step Recording, and Realtime Recording

You can also record using the following methods.

Hold down the step button ([01]–[16] buttons) at which you want to

enter a note.

While holding down the step button, play the keyboard.

Release the step button.

Press the [

] button to play back the pattern.

With this recording method, the originally existing notes are not deleted;

the notes you enter are added to the recording.

Note duration (Gate Time) is fixed at 80%. Keyboard dynamics (Velocity)

changes depending on the force with which you strike the key.
