While holding down the [PTN SELECT] button, turn on the 

power.

Press pad [7] to switch the operating mode.

ON (lit)

The pattern sequencer operates with precise timing.

The pattern sequencer operates with timing that models the

Fixed a problem with TR-REC

We fixed the problem in which it became impossible to set LAST 

STEP to “1.”

Adding an accent to an instrument’s performance

 

5

When using INST-PLAY (realtime performance) or INST-REC (realtime 

recording), you can hold down the ACCENT [STEP] button and press a 

pad to add an accent to the specified step. 

To adjust the volume of the accent, use the ACCENT [LEVEL] knob in 

the same way as for TR-REC (step recording).

INST-REC (realtime recording) now lets you record an accent at the 

step location that you play.

Color indication of the instrument’s sound (tone)

When selecting a tone, the color that is shown when you press a pad 

now distinguishes the tone.

TR-808 type

Pink

TR-909 type

Yellow

Fixed a problem with ASSIGNABLE OUT

We have fixed a problem that had caused the effect sound to be sent 

to MIX OUT when an instrument with reverb or delay applied was 

assigned to ASSIGNABLE OUT.
*  Properly speaking, an instrument assigned to ASSIGNABLE OUT 

should not be output from MIX OUT.
