These pages use the
example of creating a drum
phrase to explain TR
Recording, but you can also
use TR Recording to create
melody or backing phrases.
In this case, read references
in this explanation to
“rhythm tone” as “note.”
If you want to use the
keyboard pads to specify
the rhythm tone, press the
[KEYBOARD] button so its
indicator lights. After
you’ve specified the
rhythm tone, press the
[KEYBOARD] button once
again so the indicator goes
out.
If you want to change the
range (Octave Shift) of the
keyboard pads, press the
[DISPLAY] button enough
times to get the OCT
indicator to light, and then
press the [INC] or [DEC]
b
utton.
