3. Phrase Recording
RS7000 77
Create original phrases by recording performance data to user phrases.
Three recording modes are available: real-time recording, step recording, and grid-step recording.
The Phrase Recording Display
Phrase Recording has the following display pages.
Record Standby (PATTERN Play)...(Page 78)
This page is used to prepare for recording performance data to
the currently selected phrase.
Parameters such as loop recording, the recording type, and record
quantize are accessible via this page.
Record Standby (PATTERN Patch)...(Page 79)
This page is used to prepare for recording performance data to a
phrase.
Voice selection and transposition can be carried out via this page.
Real-time Record...(Page 80)
This recording mode allows notes played via the RS7000 and
variations applied via the assignable knobs, as well as perfor-
mance data from external MIDI devices, to be recorded in real
time. Recording can be carried out while monitoring playback of
other tracks.
Real-time Record: Replace...(Page 80)
Any previous data in the recorded track will be erased (over-
written) and replaced by the new performance data. This is
handy when you need to re-record the same part several
times.
Real-time Record: Overdub...(Page 80)
This mode allows material to be added to existing material on
a track. Previous performance data will not be erased. This
makes it easy to create parts by recording them a little at a
time.
Step Record...(Page 80)
This mode allows notes to be entered one at a time. Step record-
ing makes it easy to create user phrases even if you can’t play the
phrase in real time.
Notes are entered by first specifying the note type, and then the
note pitch via the keyboard.
Grid Step Record...(Page 83)
As in the Step record mode, notes are entered one at a time. After
specifying the note’s pitch, the note is entered at the grid position
(timing) specified by the keyboard.
This method is particularly useful when entering drums and
sequenced phrases which use consecutive notes of the same pitch.
