Recording performances or knob
movements into a song
(Event Recording)
In addition to putting patterns together to create a song, Song mode
also allows you to realtime-record knob movements and your
performances on the part keys.
Recording this data in Song mode is referred to as "event record-
ing."
Four types of musical data (event data) can be recorded by event
recording.
· Pressing the part keys
· Using Part Mute or Part Solo
· Movements of the knobs or switches (only for the selected part)
· Tempo
Event recording allows you to record two or more types of events in
the same area, as long as the events are played at the same time.
Event recording always rewrites the previous data ("replace re-
cording"), and when you record your performance, any event re-
cording data previously in that area will be erased. (It is not pos-
sible to layer event recording over the same area.)
1. Select the song on which you wish to record events.
2. Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indicate
POSITION.
3. Use the dial or the Select keys to move to the position at which
you wish to begin recording.
4. Press the Rec key, and then press the Play/Pause key to begin
event recording.
5. Use the part keys and/or the knobs to perform.
6. Press the Stop/Cancel key to stop event recording.
Knob movements that are event-recorded in Song mode will al-
ways playback in a way that corresponds to the SMOOTH type
motion sequence setting (and not the TRIG HOLD type).
If you wish to save the event recording, you must perform
the Write operation. If you switch songs or turn off the power
without performing the Write operation, the recorded perfor-
mance will be lost.
If during playback you operate a knob that had been event-
recorded, playback of the events of that knob will be can-
celled until it reaches the next position. However if you modify
the tempo that was event-recorded, the tempo will be can-
celled until the end of the song.
After rewinding a song, it may not be possible to playback
exactly according to the event data.
Deleting event data from a song
To delete event data from a song, you can perform event record-
ing over the area that you wish to delete (without operating any
knobs or keys).
Checking for song event data
If event data has been recorded in a song, holding down the SHIFT
key and pressing the MOTION SEQ key will make step keys 13
through 16 light.
It is not possible to check for event data during playback or
recording.
