Playing samples and recording your performance (Pattern Sequencer)
You can change the patterns assigned to each pad by
exchanging patterns between two pads.
You can also exchange patterns between a pad to which an
already-recorded pattern is assigned and a pad to which no
pattern is assigned.
1. Press [PATTERN SELECT] so the button is lit.
The display will indicate “Ptn.”
2. While holding down [DEL], press [SAMPLING].
[DEL] and [SAMPLING] will light, the display will
indicate “CHG,” and pads to which a pattern is
assigned will blink.
3. Press a bank button and pad to select one of the
patterns that you want to exchange.
The pad will light.
4. Press a bank button and pad to select the other pattern
that you want to exchange.
The pad will light, and [SAMPLING] will blink.
5. Press [SAMPLING] to carry out the exchange.
[DEL] and [SAMPLING] will light, and the dot in the
display will blink. When the dot stops blinking, the
exchange has been completed.
If you’re exchanging patterns between internal memory and
the CompactFlash card, and there is insufficient internal
memory or insufficient space on the CompactFlash card, the
display will indicate “FuL” and you won’t be able to carry out
the exchange.
Never turn off the power while the dot is blinking. Doing so
may destroy not only the patterns you’re exchanging, but also
other patterns or the CompactFlash card.
You can copy a pattern from one pad to another pad. This
lets you create a new pattern based on an existing pattern.
If you decide to cancel this operation midway through the
procedure, press [CANCEL].
1. Press [PATTERN SELECT] so the button is lit.
The display will indicate “Ptn.”
2. While holding down [DEL], press [RESAMPLE].
3. The display will indicate “CPY.”
4. Press the copy-source pad.
5. Press the copy-destination pad.
The pads to which you can copy will blink.
6. When you’ve pressed the two pads, [SAMPLING] will
blink.
7. Press [SAMPLING] to start the copy. When the “CPY”
indication disappears from the display, the copy has
been completed.
If there’s not enough memory to perform the copy, the display
will indicate “FuL” and the copy will not be performed.
Never turn off the power before the copy operation has been
completed. Doing so may destroy not only the patterns you’re
copying, but also other patterns or the CompactFlash card.
