¢ [F4] Erase
This menu appears as soon as Recording starts. During
Pattern recording, pressing the key while holding the [F4]
button erases all the note events of the pressed key. This is
useful in loop recording since it allows you to quickly delete
wrong notes played for a specific key.
∞ [F5] Click
This is the same as in the Song Record mode. See
page 188.
Realtime Recording Procedure
This section explains how to record your performance
using the Realtime Recording features. Please keep in
mind that the procedure differs depending on the Record
Type and Record Track set from the Record Setup display.
The operation is same as the one in the Song Record
display (page 189).
Editing MIDI Events (Pattern Edit)
The Pattern Edit mode lets you edit the already recorded Phrases or insert the new data to the Phrases. It can be used to
correct mistakes as well as add dynamics or effects such as vibrato to refine and finish the Phrase.
Press the [EDIT] button from the Pattern Play mode to go to the Pattern Edit mode.
n The Pattern Edit mode gives you comprehensive, detailed controls for editing the MIDI events of individual Pattern tracks. MIDI events are
messages (such as note on/off, note number, program change number, etc.) that make up the data of a recorded phrase.
n Like the Song Edit mode, Pattern Edit consists of the Event List display and the Insert Event window. The Event List display lets you correct
or delete already inserted MIDI events and the Insert Event window lets you insert new events to the Pattern. By using the Insert Event
window, you can input the events one by one. The Event List display will always appear when the Pattern Edit mode is first called up.
