Rename Pattern
Press the [F5] (“Name”) key to access the dialog box, and
rename the selected pattern.
You may input up to sixteen characters. (☞BG p.43)
Step Rec (Loop)
Here you can perform step recording into a pattern.
This is available when a user pattern is selected.
1 In “Pattern Bank” and “Pattern Select,” specify the pat-
tern. By default, the pattern length is one measure. If you
wish to change the number of measures in the pattern,
set the Utility “Pattern Param.”
2 Select the “Step Rec (Loop)” to access the dialog box.
3 The remaining steps are the same as when step recording
a track. Refer to steps
3 and following of “Step Record-
ing” (5.2–1b). However, step recording a pattern differs
from step recording a track in that when you reach the
end of the pattern, you will automatically return to the
beginning of the pattern and continue recording, allow-
ing you to add more data.
Event Edit
Here you can edit individual events of the musical data in a
pattern that you input.
Use “Pattern Bank” and “Pattern Select” to specify the pat-
tern that you wish to edit.
For the remaining steps, refer to “Event Edit” (5.2–1b).
Pattern Param. (Pattern Parameter)
This command specifies the number of measures and the
time signature of the selected pattern.
1 Use “Pattern Bank” and “Pattern Select” to specify the
pattern.
2 Select “Pattern Param.” to access the dialog box.
3 In “Length,” specify the number of measures in the pat-
tern.
4 In “Meter,” specify the time signature of the pattern.
However, this time signature is only temporary, and
when you “put” the pattern in a track of a song, the pat-
tern will play according to the time signature of that mea-
sure.
5 To execute the Pattern Parameter settings, press the [F8]
(“OK”) key. To cancel, press the [F7] (“Cancel”) key.
Erase Pattern
This command erases the musical data from the selected
pattern.
1 Use “Pattern Bank” and “Pattern Select” to specify the
pattern.
2 Select “Erase Pattern” to access the dialog box.
3 If you check “All Pattern,” all user patterns in the song
will be erased.
If “All Patterns” is not checked, only the pattern speci-
fied in
1 will be erased.
4 To execute the Erase Pattern command, press the [F8]
(“OK”) key. To cancel, press the [F7] (“Cancel”) key.
Copy Pattern
This command copies the settings and musical data of the
selected pattern to another pattern.
User patterns belong to a particular song, but you can use
the Copy Pattern command to use a pattern in another song.
While preset patterns cannot be edited, you can copy a pre-
set pattern to a user pattern and then edit and save it as a
user pattern. Be aware that when you execute the Copy Pat-
tern operation, the pattern settings and musical data of the
copy destination will be erased.
1 Select “Copy Pattern” to access the dialog box.
2 In From: “Pattern,” specify the copy source pattern. (By
default, this will be the pattern that was selected in the
page.)
3 In To: “Song” and “Pattern,” specify the copy destination
song and pattern. For “Pattern,” only user patterns U00–
U99 can be specified.
4 To execute the Copy Pattern command, press the [F8]
(“OK”) key. To cancel, press the [F7] (“Cancel”) key.
Bounce Pattern
This command combines the musical data of the bounce
source pattern and bounce destination pattern, and places
the combined musical data in the bounce destination. The
time signature and length of the pattern following execution
will be according to the settings of the bounce destination.
If MIDI control data exists in the selected pattern and in the
bounce destination pattern, the resulting playback following
the bounce operation may produce unexpected results. We
recommend that you use “Event Edit” (5.1–1c) to prepare
the MIDI control data of the two patterns before executing
the Bounce Pattern command.
1 Use “Pattern Bank” and “Pattern Select” to specify the
bounce source pattern.
2 Select “Bounce Pattern” to access the dialog box.
3 In From “Pattern,” select the bounce source pattern. (By
default, the pattern that are selected in the page will be
chosen.)
4 In To: “Song” and “Pattern,” select the bounce destina-
tion song and pattern. For “Pattern,” only user patterns
U00–U99 can be specified.
5 To execute the Bounce Pattern command, press the [F8]
(“OK”) key. To cancel, press the [F7] (“Cancel”) key.
