Three ways to record in the COMPOSER
There are three ways to create and record a rhythm.
Simple recording method
Use EASY COMPOSER to quickly create a unique rhythm
just by selecting a pattern for each part.
Create a completely new rhythm
Compose all the parts of a completely new rhythm from
scratch.
You can use either realtime recording or step record for
any part of the recording.
Pattern Copy (page 92)
Copy a preset rhythm or SEQUENCER data to a COMPOSER
memory, edit it as you like, and then store it as a new rhythm.
Simple recording method
With EASY COMPOSER you can easily create a unique
rhythm pattern by selecting a different style for each part of
the rhythm.
1. On the COMPOSER MENU display, select
EASY COMPOSER.
The display looks similar to the following.
2. Use the MEM and buttons to select the
memory in which to record your rhythm.
Select from A-vari 1 to 4, B-vari 1 to 4 and C-vari 1 to 4.
3. Use the PART and buttons to select the
part.
In the EASY COMPOSER, the new rhythm pattern is
divided into 9 parts, to each of which a style and variation
is assigned.
4. Use the STYLE and buttons to select a
style.
5. Use the VARI and buttons to select the
variation number.
The number of variations differs depending on the
selected style.
A part which is set to OFF does not sound. Note that the
BsDrum&Snare part cannot be set to OFF.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to select styles for the
other parts.
7. Press the SET button.
The rhythm pattern is played back.
If you are not satisfied with the rhythm pattern, repeat
steps 3 to 7.
If you wish to correct the sounds or phrases in your rhythm
pattern, press the EDIT button. The display changes to
the recording display.
For playback, refer to page 89.
Create a completely new rhythm
Clear the memories and compose a completely new rhythm from scratch.
You can also use this method when copying a pattern from a preset rhythm or the SEQUENCER.
Prepare to record
1. On the COMPOSER MENU display, select a
memory in which to record (RECORDING
MEMORY A, B, or C).
The display looks similar to the following.
2. Use the buttons below the display to select
the pattern you want to create.
If the MEM CLR button is pressed, all the current contents
of the MEMORY are erased (a confirmation display ap-
pears).
You can press the NAMING button and assign a name to
the MEMORY.
To assign a name to each VARIATION, press the VARI
button and select a number.
