Chapter 5. Creating a Pattern
Each time you input a sample, the input location will advance by the number of measures in the sample
(minimum 1/128th of a measure). This is convenient when you are creating a succession of samples that you want
to synchronize to the tempo of the pattern.
1.
Go to the Pattern Play screen (p. 15).
2.
Press [
] (Record) to get the RECORDING MENU screen.
[
] (Record) will blink.
3.
Press [F3] (SMPL) to get the STEP REC SAMPLE STANDBY (Step
Recording Sample Standby) screen.
Alternatively, you can get the same result from the screen
of step 2 by pressing [
] to move the cursor to “Step Rec Smpl” and pressing [ENTER].
4.
Press TRACK [1]–[4] to select the track on which you intend to record.
The button you press will blink, and the track number will appear in the upper left of the screen.
5.
Use [
][
] to select the parameter you want to set.
Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to set the parameter value.
6.
Press [F3] (START) to get the STEP RECORDING screen.
The upper line of the screen shows the “measure-beat-tick” at which the sample will be input.
Available pads (i.e., that contain samples) will light.
7.
Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to edit the “Velocity” value.
8.
Strike the pad that contains the sample you want to input.
The pad operation will be recorded.
If you want to use samples from a different pad bank, press [PAD BANK] and switch the pad bank (p. 23).
You can press [F3] (BACK) to delete the previously input sample.
If you use a sample whose “Trig Mode” (p. 50) is set to ALTERNATE and whose “Loop Sw” (p. 50)
is ON, the pad operation will automatically be recorded in a way such that the sample playback
does not loop, but stops at the end point of the sample.
9.
Repeat steps 7–8 to input more samples as desired.
10.
Press [
] (Stop) to return to the Play screen.
You can execute Undo/Redo by holding down [FUNC] and pressing [
