How to record a Style (Real Time)
Below follows all the steps to take when programming a Prog. Style in Real Time. For
a clearer understanding of this section, only the fundamental functions are explained.
Afterwards, the additional functions which contribute to the perfection of your record-
ings or which render a more sophisticated use of the Sequencer are explained in the Edit
Sequencer chapter.
1. Press one of the four STYLE buttons (Style 1, 2, 3 or 4) in the top row of the
“Performance and Style Banks” and select an “empty’ slot using the Function
Buttons (F1…F8). You will be prompted to create a new Style.
2. Press REC.
3. Choose the Riff you want to record (Maj, Min, etc.) using the Function buttons F1,
F2 and F3.
4. After selecting your Riff, press ENTER to enter “Record Pending” status.
5. Using the Cursor diamond arrows to navigate, select the first Track to record
1
(a
Drumkit) and activate it for recording with the Toggle. Select also the “Length”
function to set the number of bars for the Riff (ignore the “Mode” function at this
stage).
6. Access the “Master” Track in Edit Sequencer to specify a Time signature (if
different from the default 4/4) and set other parameters as required (Metronome
volume, Tempo, etc.).
7. Press Start/Stop to start the recording
2
. The Metronome will tap a one bar “count
down” (or lead) into the recording.
8. After the one bar lead, start recording the Riff for the specified number of bars.
9. When you have finished the recording the Riff, press Start/Stop to stop the
recording. Repress Start/Stop to listen to the playback and, if you are satisfied press
the Toggle to assign the recorded track to the Sequencer definitely (the track status
column shows “REC” change to “SEQ”).
If you are not satisfied, there are several operations to choose from to optimise your
recording (see Edit Sequencer further ahead).
10. Select another track and repeat the procedure from point 7.
11. When you have finished recording all the Tracks for the first Riff, return to “Riff
select by pressing “Riff” (F1) and repeat the procedure from point 3 (ignore point
5 and 6) to record the tracks for the different Riff.
12. When you have finished the recording, press ESC to escape Prog. Style Record
mode.
13. Press Start/Stop to start your new Style and play a chord on the left part of the
keyboard to listen to your recorded arrangement.
You can give the new Prog. Style a name using the NAME function in the Edit Sequencer
(see Name further ahead).
Note 1:
It is advisable to assign
a Drumkit to Track 1
because the Styles
“carry” predisposed
parameters that limit
Drumkits to Track 1.
Note 2:
If nothing happens
when you press Start/
Stop, check the Clock in
the Edit MIDI section -
it could be set to
EXT(ernal): set it to
INT(ernal).
