Record a Bass Line
When you are satisfied with your drum loop, you can begin using it as the foundation for a
song. What we’ll do here is set RecMode to Unloop while leaving PlayMode set to Loop. This
means that the drum loop will keep playing while we record new unlooped material of any
length. The endpoint of the song will change to reflect the length of the newly recorded material.
1. Press the MISC soft button to bring up the MISC page.
2. Set the RecMode parameter to Unloop. Leave the PlayMode parameter set to Loop.
Depending on the type of song you are recording, you may also want to turn quantization
off before you record your bass part.

3. Press the MAIN soft button to return to the MAIN page.
4. Set the recording track (RecTrk) to Track 2.
Since you previously assigned Warm Bass 1^2 to channel 2, it should appear in the
Program parameter when you set Track 2 as the recording track. Note, too, that the track
status indicator for Track 1 changes to P (for Play) when you select Track 2 for recording.
The small square above the track status indicator tells us that material is contained on that
track.
5. Press the Record soft button to enter REC READY mode.
6. Press the Play soft button, then begin laying down a bass track.
