Chapter 5. Replacing phrases to create a different pattern (MEGAMIX)
Chapter 5
Saving the pattern you
rearranged
When you have used MEGAMIX to create a pattern that you
like, you can save it as a User Pattern. The saved pattern can
be recalled during normal pattern playback, just as any other
pattern.
If you edit another pattern, switch to Song mode, or turn off
the power without saving the pattern you recorded or edited,
your edits will be lost.
* You must stop pattern playback before saving the pattern.
1.
Use MEGAMIX to create a pattern.
2.
Press [
] to stop pattern playback.
3.
Press [WRITE].
A screen will appear in which you can specify the save-
destination pattern.
4.
Turn [VALUE] to specify the save-destination
pattern.
The data will be saved in the pattern you specify here. Be
careful not to specify the wrong pattern, since the
pattern that was previously saved in this location will be
erased.
5.
Press [ENTER].
The display will ask “SurE” (are you sure you want to
proceed with the save?).
6.
To save the data, press [ENTER].
* To cancel without saving, press [EXIT].
After the data has been saved, the save-destination
pattern number will be displayed.
Tips when using MEGAMIX to create a
pattern
If the patterns that you combine using MEGAMIX have
different time signatures or a different number of
measures, their playback may not be connected
appropriately. When using MEGAMIX to combine
patterns, it is best to combine patterns of the same
number of measures and time signature.
When you use MEGAMIX to replace phrases within a
pattern, the volume balance of the parts may change
significantly, depending on the phrase that you replaced.
In such cases, you should re-adjust the Part Level (p. 19)
before you save the pattern.
Most of the preset patterns have the following part
structure.
Keeping the above structure in mind, you can replace
part 2 when you wish to replace the bass, replace part R
when you wish to replace the drums, and so on.
If you follow the above guidelines when creating user
patterns as sell, it sill be easier to use your patterns with
MEGAMIX.
It is not possible to perform MEGAMIX between part R
and parts 1–7.
Part R
Drums
Part 1
For D-FIELD performance (contains no
performance data)
