want to use for the pattern, recording can be carried out while automatically maintaining
precise timing.
3.
Use the [VALUE +/-] keys to set the quantize value (shortest note to be recorded).
The following settings are available.
The selected setting will be used as shortest note for real-time recording.
4.
Press the [FUNCTION] key again.
The quantize setting applies to all patterns. When recording another pattern with the same
resolution, it is not necessary to set the quantize value again.
By changing the quantize setting after recording is completed, you can add another part with
different resolution to the same pattern. For example, after recording bass drum and snare drum
using sixteenth notes, you may want to record a hi-hat sequence with thirty-second notes.
If desired, you can change the resolution of a recorded phrase afterwards. For details, see the
section "Changing User Pattern Resolution After Recording".
5.
While holding down the [REC] key, press the [PLAY] key.
The [REC] key and [PLAY] key light up. The [TEMPO] key flashes in sync with the tempo,
and one measure of precount clicks is heard before recording starts. During recording,
metronome clicks are heard, and the display shows the current position in the pattern
(measure/beat).
Unless specified otherwise, the beat and duration of an empty pattern where nothing has been
recorded are the same as those of the most recently selected recorded pattern. If desired, you
can change the beat and number of measures for the pattern (
p. 21 – 22).
If desired, the duration of the precount can be changed, or it can be turned off (
p. 48).
