If you wish to save the completed pattern, press the WRITE
key. (Refer to p.17 "Saving a pattern that you create.)
In step recording, the trigger and pitch are recorded simulta-
neously, but it is not possible to make detailed settings for the
gate time. If you wish to create a pattern in more detail, use
Event Edit (refer to p.28 "Event editing") to re-adjust the trig-
ger and pitch, or to adjust the gate time.
For details on the target step, refer to p.27 "Target step."
Saving a pattern that you create
With the factory settings, memory protect will be on, and it will not be possible to save
data. Before you save data, you must turn off the Memory Protect settings in
Global mode. (Refer to p.40 "Protect settings.")
Please be aware that when you save data, the pattern in the save destina-
tion will be overwritten.
1. Edit a pattern as described in "Modifying the sound" or "Modifying (edit-
ing) a phrase pattern."
2. Press the WRITE key once (the key will blink). The display will blink to
indicate the pattern number.
3. Rotate the dial to select the pattern number in which the data will be saved
(i.e., the "save destination").
4. Press the WRITE key once again to begin saving the data. While the data is
being saved, the key will blink. When saving is complete, the key will go
dark.
If you decide to cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key. If you do not wish to save
the pattern you created, simply select a different pattern without performing
the Write operation.
Never turn off the power while data is being saved to memory (i.e., while the
Write key is lit). Doing so may damage the data.
It is not possible to Write data during playback or recording.
