TAP WRITE: PROGRAMMING THE CR-78

An alternative method to Step writing is manually tapping the beat into
memory.

For this method, do not connect a cable to the CR-78’s clock IN jack.
Connect a cable from the Swynx Write output, to the CR-78’s Write IN.

Select the 1/48 note duration with the Time Signature control of the
Swynx. This allows notes to be written more rapidly.

Start playback on the CR-78, and tap the rhythm into memory by
playing white keys on your MIDI keyboard.

When using this method, it is helpful to slow down the tempo the
CR-78 is playing at. You might also select a preset like ROCK 1 to
play along with so you have a reference of where down beats exist.

If mistakes are made, clear individual instruments by setting the
CR-78 Programmer switch to MEMORY, selecting the appropriate
instrument, and pressing the CLEAR key. To clear all instrument
tracks, set the Programmer switch to ALL, then press the CLEAR
key.
