For the second approach, stop Style playback, select the
STYLE MIXER page, then proceed with step (3) above.
For the third approach (a kind of punch-in), select the
STYLE MIXER page, press RECORDER [REC¥∏], then press
[START÷STOP] to start recording. When you reach the place
where you want to change an already recorded setting,
press the associated [REC] field and modify the value.
Recording will be deactivated at the end of the pattern
(even though playback goes on).
Changing the preset tempo
Here is how to change the preset tempo of your Style:
(1) While on the STYLE COMPOSER page, press the
RECORDER [REC¥∏] button.
There is no need to select a Mode, Division or track,
because the tempo value is shared by all tracks and
patterns.
(2) Press the [TEMPO] field and set the value (20~250)
using the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] but-
tons.
(3) Press the [START÷STOP] button to record one or two
beats, then press it again to stop recording.
Do not play on the keyboard or use any controllers
connected to the E-80, though!
Note: The last tempo value you record becomes the Style’s
preset tempo.
Style Track Edit functions
All display pages of the Style Track Edit mode have a
[Back] field that allows you to jump to the STYLE COM-
POSER page.
The STYLE TRACK EDIT functions are very similar to
those of the 16-track sequencer. If you know how to
use those, you will have little trouble understanding
how the STYLE TRACK EDIT functions work.
The STYLE TRACK EDIT level of the STYLE COMPOSER
provides 12 functions: Quantize, Erase, Delete, Copy,
Insert, Transpose, Change Velo, Change Gate Time, Glo-
bal Change, Shift Clock, Track Length and Time Signat.
There is also a MICRO EDIT environment that allows you
to add, delete or change individual events. See
page 220 for details.
To select one of the STYLE TRACK EDIT functions, pro-
ceed as follows:
(1) Load the Style you want to edit (if it does not yet
reside in the E-80’s Style RAM memory).
(2) Press the [MENU] button, then the
[STYLE¥COMPOSER] field.
Here are a few guidelines for editing your Style:
(a) Save your Style before continuing. That way, you
can always return to the original if your changes do
not work out as expected. See “Saving your Style”
on p. 207 for details.
(b) Select the track(s) and pattern(s) you wish to mod-
ify.
(c) Select the range (FROM and TO) for the edit opera-
tion.
(d) Enter what should be changed and how it should be
changed. Press the desired field and use the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons.
(e) Confirm the operation by pressing the [EXECUTE]
field.
(f) Save your Style again.
