Creating a Drum Track pattern
To create a Drum Track pattern, you’ll use the
Sequencer mode P10: Pattern/RPPR– Pattern Edit
page to convert a user pattern into a user Drum Track
pattern. Once you’ve converted the pattern in this way,
you’ll be able to use it with the drum track in each
mode. These converted Drum Track patterns are held
in internal memory even after you turn off the power.
This means you can manage them together with the
programs and combinations.
Preparing a user pattern
You’ll first need to prepare the user pattern that you
want to convert to a Drum Track pattern.
To create a user pattern, you can realtime-record it in
the Seq P10: Pattern/RPPR– Pattern Edit page, or step-
record it (see page 93, PG page 265).
Alternatively, performance data from a track can be
imported into a pattern, meaning that performance
data you’ve created in a track or SMF data you’ve
loaded in Media mode can be used as a user pattern. To
do this, execute the Get From Track menu command in
the Seq P10: Pattern/RPPR– Pattern Edit page (see PG
page 265).
Converting to a Drum Track
pattern
1. Press the MODE SEQ switch to enter Sequencer
mode.
2. Access the Seq P10: Patern/RPPR– Pattern Edit
page.
3. Select the user pattern that you want to convert to
a Drum Track pattern.
Set Pattern to User, and use Pattern Select to select the
desired pattern.
4. Choose the menu command Convert to Drum Trk
Pattern to access the dialog box.
5. Use the To “Drum Track Pattern Select” field to
specify the user Drum Track pattern number that
will hold the converted data. When you execute
the command, the data will be overwritten onto
this number.
6. If you select the “All Patterns available in Song
***” option, all patterns in the song that contain
note data will be converted, starting with the
number you specified in step 4.
7. If you execute this command with “Note Only”
selected, only the note events will be converted.
8. Press the OK button or the ENTER switch to
execute. If you decide not to execute, press the
Cancel button or the EXIT switch.
9. As described in “Using the Drum Track function
in Program mode” on page 185, set the Drum Track
“Pattern Bank” to User, and set “Pattern No.” to
the user Drum Track pattern you converted. Then
play the Drum Track pattern.
