Realtime Recording
In the “Basic” page, you can record your original rhythm pattern from the keyboard.
 Recording Rhythm Channels 1–2
The procedure below applies to step 5 in the Basic Procedure on page 27.
1 In the “Basic” page, press one of the [1]/[2] (Rec Channel) buttons to call up the “Rec
Channel” window.
2 Move the cursor to the “Rhy1” or “Rhy2” channel, and then press the [6] (Rec) button
to set the channel as the recording target.
A Rhythm channel can be selected as the recording target no matter whether already recorded data is
included or not. If already recorded data is included in the selected channel, you can record notes
additionally to the existing data.
3 If necessary, select a Voice, and then practice the rhythm pattern to be recorded.
Press one of the [7]/[8] (Revoice) buttons to call up the Voice Selection display for the selected channel,
and then select the desired Voice—in this case, a Drum Kit, since we'll be creating a rhythm. After
selecting, press the [EXIT] button to return to the original Style Creator display. With the selected Voice,
practice the rhythm pattern to be recorded.
• Available Voices for recording
For the “Rhy1” channel, all Voices can be used for recording.
For the “Rhy2” channel, only Drum/SFX Kits can be used for recording.
NOTE For information on which key to play for each Drum/SFX sound, refer to the “Drum/Key Assignment List” in the Data List on the website.
Realtime Recording Characteristics in the Style Creator
• Loop Recording
Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done
using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are
repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record
while hearing previously recorded material.
• Overdub Recording
This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the
original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as
“Rhythm Clear” (page 30) and “Channel Delete” (pages 30, 32). For example, if you start recording with a
two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back
from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded
material. When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the
rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before
recording.
