ENTERING REALTIME RECORD MODE - From within Pattern Record Standby
Mode, simply pressing [PLAY] will initiate the realtime recording operation. A
count-in metronome click will begin (the number of count-in beats will appear
on the screen, and will depend on the designated meter), after which realtime
recording will commence. (To exit Record Mode, press [STOP], then press
[REC] again.)
RECORDING IN REALTIME - Realtime recording is simply hitting the desired
drum pads after the count-in, in time with the metronome click. You can keep
adding drum beats as the measure loops continuously. As you play, a small
black square will display beneath the clock position indicator to indicate that
data exists in that location for the currently selected pad. To stop the
realtime recording procedure, press [STOP].
AUDITIONING DRUM PADS - In either Step or Realtime Record Mode, you
can “audition” the drum pads without entering data. Hold [AUDITION] and
press a drum pad to “select” it, or hear it.
The small black squares under the clock position indicators will not appear unless you have selected a
drum pad with pattern data in it.
When pressing [FWD] and [BWD] to step through the clock positions, all data existing in each clock
position will sound.
DELETING PAD DATA - In either Step or Realtime Record Mode, you can
delete an unwanted drum beat. Hold [DELETE] and press the relevant drum
pad at the desired clock location.
In Step Record Mode, there’s also another way to delete an unwanted drum beat. First, audition the
desired pad so that the black data squares for the pad appear beneath the clock position indicators in
the LCD. Next, place the clock position indicator at the desired location. Then, hold [DELETE] and
press [ENTER].
