Recording a pattern
Chap. 2
6.
Specify the position at which you want to
record a chord.
Use [ ][ ] to move the cursor to the
step at which you want to record, or use the
POSITION measure:beat:clock values to
specify the recording position.
7.
Move the cursor to each of the following
items, and use the VALUE dial to specify
the chord that you want to input.
(1) ROOT
Specify the root note of the chord.
Range: - - -, C–B
* You can also use the key pads to specify this.
(2) TYPE
Specify the chord type.
Range:
- - (N.C: non-chord type)
Choose this type if you don’t want the notes of
your performance to be converted into a chord.
For example, if you specify the Root as “C” and
the Chord Type as “- -,” your original
performance data will be played back without
change. If you specify the Root as something
other than “C,” for example as a “D” non-chord
type, your original performance data will be
played back transposed a whole step higher.
(3) ON-BASS
Specify an on-bass chord (a chord where the
bass note is something other than the root of
the chord). If you don’t want to specify an on-
bass chord, set this to “- -.”
Range: - -, C–B
* If TYPE is set to “- -” (non-chord type), the on-bass chord
will be ignored even if you specify it.
(4) OCT. SHIFT
Specify the octave shift setting for the chord.
+1: The chord will be played an octave
higher.
0:
Octave shift will not be applied.
(Normal)
-1: The chord will be played an octave
lower.
The results of the ROOT–OCT.SHIFT settings
are shown together in the lower right of the
screen.
Octave shift is shown as “
▲
” (+1) or “
▼
” (-1).
8.
Repeat steps 6–7 if necessary.
9.
When you’re finished recording, press
[EXIT].
10.
If you want to save the pattern, proceed
to “Saving a pattern” (p. 65).
