In the case of a pattern with a length of 2 measures or greater, you can use the Select
keys to move the select LED in the lower line (red) in order to change the step location
that is shown by the step keys.
If you wish to save the completed pattern, press the WRITE key. (Refer to p.21 “Saving
a pattern that you create.”)
What is Length?
In this context, “Length” refers to the length of the rhythm
pattern. The “Length” of the pattern will be either 16 steps
or 12 steps, depending on the Scale and Beat settings of the
pattern. A rhythm pattern in triple meter will be shown in
triplets. Depending on the Length and Beat settings, a single
pattern can have up to 64 steps. (Refer to p.31 “Length,
Scale/Beat settings.”)
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.48 "Memory Protect (Protect).")
Please be aware that when you save data, the pattern in the save destination will be
overwritten.
1.Edit a pattern as described in "Modifying (editing) the sound of a part" or "Modifying
(editing) a rhythm or 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.
