With the A, you can create patterns and
combine multiple patterns to create songs.
Editing with the A mainly uses the following
four modes. By switching between these modes,
you can alternate between creating patterns and
creating songs.
The two modes for creating patterns are STEP
and INST.
· In STEP mode, you can record instrument
sounds one step at a time to create patterns.
· In INST mode, and you can record a perfor-
mance as a pattern by playing the pads in
real-time.
Use SONG and LOOPER modes to create
songs.
· In SONG mode, create songs by playing and
changing patterns in real-time and recording
the results.
· In LOOPER mode, use audio data captured
from the input of devices connected to the
INPUT jacks, patterns and songs, as well as
WAV les loaded from SD cards, for example,
as materials to build looper sequences and
create songs.
