Recording notes in a pattern
There are two basic ways to record notes in a pattern.
! Step recording method
You can record note information (muting status and parameters
such as Pitch, Gate, and Velocity) for each step regardless if the
pattern is being played or stopped.
! Real-time recording method
When using the pads to perform while a pattern is being played in
recording mode, this method will record the note information of your
performance.
Step recording
1 Press the [TRIGGER] button.
The [TRIGGER] button lights up and the 16 pads light dim orange.
2 Press the desired pad for the step to unmute the
notes.
The pad for the step lights up bright orange when the notes are
unmuted.
!
To mute the notes, press the same pad.
3 Press and hold the desired pad for the step to edit the
saved parameters, and turn the rotary selector.
The display shows a note in sequence to select such as [Note1] ,
[Note2] , and [Note3] .

4 Turn the [PITCH/CC1] , [GATE/CC2] , and/or
[VELOCITY/CC3] controls while pressing down the pad.
You can change the parameters for the note selected in step 3.
The display shows the value of each parameter.
! Turn the [PITCH/CC1] control to change the Pitch value.

way as in the step recording.
Using INTERPOLATION
By setting each parameter for the beginning step, the middle step(s),
and the end step, the unit automatically interpolates (supplements)
parameters for the steps in-between them.
You can use this function for the Pitch, Gate, Velocity, and CC1 to CC3
parameters.
1 Press [PITCH] , [GATE] , or [VELOCITY] button.
The pressed button lights up.
2 Press and hold the pad to save the beginning, middle,
or end step, and turn the control to the right of the button
pressed in step 1.
The display shows the value of the parameter. The pads where the
beginning, middle, and end steps were saved light up white.
! In addition to the beginning step and the end step, up to 3 middle
steps can also be inserted.
! To delete the beginning step, the middle step(s), or the end step,
press the pad where the step is saved.
The light of the pad dims.
