This method of recording is suitable for creating drum patterns.

Press the [PATTERN SELECT] button.

Press the [REC] button.
Empty pads in which no patterns have been recorded blink red.
The metronome sounds when the “Metronome:PTN” parameter is “ON”, which is the SYSTEM parameter “

Press pad [9] while holding down the [SHIFT] button to turn the metronome sound on/off.

Press pads [1]–[16] that are blinking red to select the record destination pattern.
The unit enters pattern record standby mode, and the RECORD SETTING screen appears.
