Recording Pad Mute Operations to a Pattern (PAD MUTE MOTION REC)
Here’s how to record the pad mute on/off operations to a pattern in real time.
1. Press the [PATTERN SELECT] button.
Pads to which patterns are assigned light up purple.
2. Press pads [1]–[16] to select the pattern to which you want to record the pad mute operations.
This plays back the pattern.
3. Press the [REC] button.
The pattern begins recording in real time.
4. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [REVERSE] and [REMAIN] buttons.
The message “PAD MUTE MODE (MOTION REC)” appears (PAD MUTE MOTION REC).
The pad mute operations now begin recording.
5. While listening to the pattern, press the pads [1]–[16] of the samples you want to mute. Press pads [1]–
[16] again when you want to unmute the samples.
The pad mute operations are recorded to the pattern.
Muted samples (pads) are lit up red, and unmuted samples (pads) are lit up white.
6. Once you finish recording, press the [EXIT] button.
The pad mute operations you recorded are played back along with the pattern (PAD MUTE MOTION PLAY).
7. To exit the pad mute playback, press the [EXIT] button.
The unit now returns to playing the patterns normally.
At this time, the pad mute is not played back, but the pad mute operations are stored in memory.
