Realtime Recording
The explanations here apply to step 4 of the Basic Procedure on page 21. In the “Rec Channel” display, you can create
the channel data via Realtime Recording.
 Recording Rhythm Channels 1–2
1 On the “Rec Channel” display, touch and hold the desired channel until it turns red.
The selected channel becomes the Recording target no matter whether the channel already contains data or not. If
recorded data is already included, you should record additional notes to the selected channel with Overdub
Recording.
2 If necessary, select a Voice, and then practice the rhythm pattern to be recorded.
Touch the instrument icon (illustration) to call up the Voice Selection display, and then select the desired Voice,
such as a Drum Kit. After selecting, close the Voice Selection display to return to the Style Creator display. With
the selected Voice, practice the rhythm pattern to be recorded.
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 “Clear Drum Inst”
(page 23), “Delete” (pages 23, 25), and “Remove Event” (page 27). For example, if you start recording with a two-
measure Main section, the two measures are repeated indefinitely. 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.
If you select an Audio Style as starting data:
Playback of the Audio part can be turned on or off, but it cannot be edited or deleted. Note that the rhythm pattern of
this part will be used in the new Style you intend to create. If you want to create a rhythm phrase in addition to the
Audio part, follow the steps below.
