Style Record procedure
At this point, you may go on, inserting new events in
overdub mode (the previously inserted events will not
be deleted). This is very useful when recording a drum
or percussion track, where you may want to record the
bass drum on a first cycle, the snare drum on the second
cycle, and the hi-hat and cymbals during the following
cycles.
10. When finished recording, press START/STOP to turn off
its LED. The Main page of the Style Record mode
appears.
When exiting, the “RT” recording mode is automati-
cally selected. You may press START/STOP to listen to
the Style. Press START/STOP again to stop the playback.
To enter the Step Record mode again, select the “Stp”
recording mode, and press START/STOP.
11. From the Main page of the Style Record mode, press
RECORD to exit the Record mode. You will be
prompted to assign a new name to the Style, and select a
memory location where to save it. See “The Write win-
dow” on page 54 for information on how to save a Style.
Chords and second voices in Step Record
mode
With Pa50, you are not obliged to insert single notes in a
track. There are several ways to insert chords and double
voices. Lets look at some.
Inserting a chord. When the “key?” prompt appears in the
display, play a chord instead of a single note. The event’s
name will be the first note of the chord you pressed, followed
by the “…” marking.
Inserting a chord with notes with different velocity values.
You can make the upper or lower note of a chord, for exam-
ple, louder than the remaining ones, to make the most
important note emerge from the chord. Here is how to insert
a three-note chord:
1. Edit the Velocity value of the first note.
2. Press the first note and keep it pressed.
3. Edit the Velocity value of the second note.
4. Press the second note and keep it pressed.
5. Edit the Velocity value of the third note.
4. Press the third note, then release all notes.
Inserting a second voice. You can insert passages where one
note is kept pressed, and another voice moves freely.
