Bass track step input
When performing step input for the bass track,
“sound duration” must be entered as an additional
item. Otherwise, the input procedure is similar, in
so far as the status keys and faders 3 and 4 are used
to enter notes and rests.
For example, also when the step length is constant,
the duration setting can be varied, resulting in sounds
of a different length (see illustration below).
H INT
The step length changes according to the
currently selected smallest note unit (quantize
setting). The default setting is a sixteenth note,
but this can be changed if desired (
→ p. 71).
N OTE
For the bass track, only one sound can be
produced at a time. If the sound duration is set
to a value longer than a step, the part extending
into the next step will be cut (the sound for that
step has priority).
1. From the PATTERN mode top screen,
press the [REC] key.
The [REC] key lights up and step input becomes
possible.
2. Use the cursor left/right keys to
change the indication in the left
corner of the display to “B”.
“B” stands for bass track.
3. If required, turn the dial to set the key
and scale.
For details, see the section "Playing drum/bass
sounds manually".
4. To enter a note, use the cursor up/
down keys to select a duration value.
The display changes as follows to show the
duration of the note being entered.
