Creating a rhythm pattern
This section explains how you can create your own
rhythm patterns. There are two ways of doing this: real-
time input where you record your play on the pads, and
step input where play is stopped and you enter the sounds
one by one.
Before starting to record, you must make various settings
for the rhythm pattern, such as bar length and time
signature, and quantize value (shortest unit for
recording). By default, an empty rhythm pattern has a 4/
4 time signature and a length of 2 measures.
NOTE
After you have started the rhythm pattern input procedure,
you can no longer change the time signature and number of
measures. Be sure to make these settings beforehand.
