Playing samples and recording your performance (Pattern Sequencer)
15. Press the pads at the desired timing.
During recording, you can use the pads to play
samples. You can also press a bank button to switch
sample banks.
The samples of the pads you pressed will play, and will
be recorded at the timing specified by the selected
quantize setting.
When the measure number shown in the display
reaches the pattern length you specified, you will
automatically return to measure one, and recording will
continue (“loop recording”). The previously recorded
performance will play back during this time.
If you press [SAMPLING] once again so the button is
blinking, the display will indicate “rEH” and you’ll be in
Rehearsal mode. In this state, pressing the pads will
play the corresponding samples, but they won’t be
recorded. When you press [SAMPLING] once again so
the button is lit, you’ll exit Rehearsal mode and return to
the conventional recording mode. This gives you a
convenient way to find the next sample that you want to
play.
16. Press the pads of samples that you want to overdub.
The pad performance that you recorded on the previous
pass will be recorded along with your newly added
pad performance (overdubbed). You can use this
method to gradually build up complex rhythms that
would be impossible to play all at once.
During this recording process, you can change the
quantization as follows.
1. Press [QUANTIZE] so the button is lit.
2. Turn the CTRL 3 knob to change the quantize setting.
3. When you’ve made the desired setting, press
[QUANTIZE] to extinguish the button.
The new quantize setting will be applied
immediately.
17. When you want to stop recording, press [CANCEL].
The dot in the display will blink. When the blinking
stops, recording is complete.
Never turn off the power while the dot is blinking. Doing so
may destroy not only the pattern you recorded, but also other
patterns or the CompactFlash card.
If you’ve played a sample by mistake while recording, you
can use the corresponding pad to erase it from the recorded
pattern.
1. Press [PATTERN SELECT] so the button is lit.
The display will indicate “Ptn” and pads to which a
pattern is assigned will blink.
2. Press [SAMPLING] so the button is lit.
3. Press the pad for the pattern containing the
performance from which you want to delete the
mistake.
The pad you pressed will light, and the other pads will
go out. [SAMPLING] will blink, and the metronome will
begin sounding.
4. Press [SAMPLING].
[SAMPLING] will change from blinking to lit, and
recording will begin.
The recorded performance will play back. If you press
the pad of a sample at this time, it will be recorded.
5. Press [DEL] so the button is lit.
The display will indicate “ErS.”
6. Press the pad for the sample that you want to erase,
throughout the period where you want the erasure to
take place.
The dot in the display will blink, and any occurrences of
that sample will be erased from the pattern during the
duration that you hold down the pad.
By holding down [HOLD] you can erase the performances of
all pads.
7. Repeat step 6 as desired.
8. When you’ve finished erasing mistakes, press [DEL].
[DEL] will go out, and the pattern will return to normal
recording.
If you press the pad of a sample at this time, it will be
recorded.
9. Press [CANCEL] to carry out the erasure.
The dot in the display will blink while the erasure is
being carried out. When the blinking stops, the erasure
is complete.
Never turn off the power while the dot is blinking. Doing so
may destroy not only the pattern you recorded, but also other
patterns or the CompactFlash card.
