Realtime recording
This method allows you to record while listening to the performance.
To record a rhythm pattern, press the rhythm part keys at the desired timing. To record
a phrase pattern, use the keyboard function and press the step keys at the desired tim-
ing.
When you press a drum part key, the keyboard function of the step keys will be
defeated, but will return to the previous setting when you once again select a synth
part.
If you wish to listen to the metronome as you record, refer to p.46 "Metronome set-
tings."
1.Press the Pattern mode key (the key will light). Use the
cursor [▲][▼] keys to select Pattern (the corresponding
LED will light).
2.Turn the dial to select the pattern that you wish to record.
3.To record a synth part, select either synth part 1 or 2,
and turn the Keyboard key on (the key will light).
4.Press the Rec key to enter record-ready mode. (The Rec
key will light, and the Play/Pause key will blink.)
5.Press the Play/Pause key to start the pattern. (The Play/
Pause key will light.)
6.To record a drum part, press the drum part key at the timing at which you want it to
sound.
7.To record a synth part, press the step key for the desired pitch at the timing at which
you want it to sound.
8.The pattern will playback repeatedly, and you can continue recording additional notes
as long as the Rec key is lit.
Press the Stop/Cancel key to stop recorded. (The Rec key and the Play/Pause key will
go dark.) Alternatively, you can press the Rec key (instead of pressing the Stop/Cancel
key) to stop recording but continue playback. (The Rec key will go dark, and the Play/
Pause key will light.)
If you wish to save the completed pattern, press the Write key. (Refer to p.21 "Saving a
pattern that you create.")
Erase
If you input a note by mistake, hold down the Shift key while the pattern continues to
play, and then hold down the Rec key. Note triggers will be erased from the selected
part (whose key is lit) while you hold down these keys.
