Pattern Mode
Pattern Record Mode
In Pattern Record mode there are two methods
available for recording patterns, real time recording and
step recording. There are also various functions related
to recording patterns and a maximum of 50 patterns
can be stored in the internal memory. For organizing
your patterns, they can be stored to floppy disk so that
you can make use of them whenever you like.
Real Time Recording: Just like a multi-track recorder,
the actual performance is recorded as you play. Because
the performance is recorded exactly as played, the
subtle nuances and feeling of the recording are
accurately expressed.
Step Recording: Just like writing music on a music
score, each note is programmed in separately. You can
confirm each beat of the measure in the screen as you
perform operations. Therefore this type of recording is
perfect for programming repetitive patterns and
phrases, basic rhythms and bass lines that require
precision. This method of recording is also convenient
for inputting the trigger timing of sample loops for
break beats.
Previously made patterns are useful for creating songs.
A variety of basic accompaniment patterns can be
created, stored, and easily programmed (recorded) in
any order, on any pattern track in Song Record mode
(see page 193). In this way, it is possible to make an
accompaniment section for a song quickly. The eight
pattern tracks and 16 song tracks share the same 16
parts of the tone generator. Set the MIDI channels in a
way that prevents the parts from overlapping.
How to Enter the Pattern
Record Mode
When in the Pattern Play mode, press the sequencer
[REC] (Recording) key. The [REC] light will be lit
indicating that Pattern Record mode has been engaged,
and is now in standby status.
Press [REC] once more or [STOP] to return to Song

When you enter the Pattern Record mode, the menus

the Pattern Record mode.
Before entering the Pattern Record mode, create the

those settings, there are Mute on/off and Play Effects
Thru on/off for each of the playback tracks (tracks
1~8).
Many of the parameters here are found in Pattern Play

those described in Pattern Play mode will be explained.
