Recording a User Pattern
In this mode you enter one note at a time, rather than playing along
with the click sounds. You can create very complex patterns that
would be difficult to record using Real-time Record Mode.
1
Press the [PATTERN] button to place the unit in Pattern Mode. Notice that
the “PATTERN” indicator is flashing beside the current Pattern Number.
The current position “ ” indicator is also flashing.
2
Select a pattern from “050” to “099” to record into by rotating the Jog Dial
or by using the [ +1 ] and [ –1 ] buttons. You should select an empty pattern
to record into.
Patterns “000” to “049” are preset patterns and cannot be modified.
Patterns “100” to “149” are combination patterns and are recorded in a
different manner. See page 38 for an explanation of how to record
combination patterns.
3
Select a section of the pattern you want to create. Press and hold the
[SECTION] button, then press the Drum Pad button for the section you want
to record. The appropriate Section indicator lights up, for example, the
INTRO” indicator.
Step Record Mode
NOTE
See page 40 for a description of the indicators on the LCD.
WARNING
Be careful not to overwrite a pattern accidentally. The “
EMPTY” indicator will light
for patterns that contain no data. If the pattern you have selected already contains
data, you may want to clear it before you start to record a new pattern. See page 55
for further details.
