(Both MZ-X500 and MZ-X300)
Setting items for pad recording are added with this version.
■
Addition of pad phrase recording items
(Both MZ-X500 and MZ-X300)
An Upper 1 tone is recorded at the beginning of a phrase when recording a pad phrase.
•
You can use “Phrase Tone Enable” in each pad’s “Setting” to specify whether or not the tone should be reflected
during playback.
•
If “Phrase Tone Enable” is turned on when playing back a phrase with multiple parts, the tones of all the
specified parts will be changed to the recorded tone.
■
Addition of the ability to playback pad phrases with dedicated parts
(Both MZ-X500 and MZ-X300)
You can configure settings to specify playback of phrases using dedicated parts for pads 1 through 8.
•
Dedicated parts are B-09 for Pad 1, B-10 for Pad 2, and so on up to B-16 for Pad 8.
•
Pads 9 through 16 cannot play back dedicated parts.
For “Part” in the “Setting” of the applicable pad, “B-X” (X is fixed as 09 to 16 for each part) is turned on, while other
parts are off.
Tapping a pad plays the phrase using the specified part.
•
Phrase playback can always be performed using the tone used for recording by turning on “Phrase Tone Enable”
and turning on only “B-X” for “Part”.
•
Turning on “Phrase Tone Enable” and turning on A-01 through A-16 for “Part”, changes the manual and/or
accompaniment tone.
■
Addition of the display of the recorded tone of a recorded pad phrase
(Both MZ-X500 and MZ-X300)
When the data of the pad selected on the PAD screen is a phrase and the phrase has a tone recorded to it, the tone
number and tone name are displayed under the phrase name.
Nothing is displayed when the data is not a phrase.
•
If the data is a phrase but there is no tone recorded, 0000 is shown as the tone number and “Not Recorded” is
shown as the tone name.
•
To specify or change the tone of a phrase, touch “Pad Edit” and then touch “Event Edit” to display the Event Edit
screen. Next, insert a Tone event into the header. (For more information, see the separate Tutorial manual.)
