4. Use [CURSOR] and the TIME/VALUE dial to set the
measure, beat, and quantize from which to start
recording of the pattern.
Measure
This sets the number of measures in the pattern to be
recorded.
Valid Settings: 1–999
Tempo
When recording, this sets the tempo for confirming the
pattern.
Valid Settings: 25.0–250.0
* The tempo setting here is exclusively for confirmation of the
pattern recording. This tempo is not stored in the pattern (you
cannot make any individual tempo settings for the patterns
themselves).
Time Signature
This sets the time signature (i.e., the beat) for the pattern
to be recorded.
Valid Settings: 1/1–8/1, 1/2–8/2, 1/4–8/4, 1/8–8/8
Quantize
This sets the resolution for the steps being input.
Quarter note (96)
Sixteenth-note triplet
(16)
Quarter-note triplet
(64)
Thirty-second note
(12)
Eighth note (48)
Thirty-second-note triplet
(8)
Eighth-note triplet
(32) HI (1)
Sixteenth note (24)
Numerals in parentheses indicate the clock. The lower
the value set, the finer the resolution each beat becomes.
