Chapter 6. Recording and Editing Patterns—Sequencer
What is played on the pads or on an external MIDI keyboard
can be recorded (Realtime Recording).
Your performance will be recorded exactly as you play it,
including hi-hat control pedal movements and Positional
Sensing.
Please keep in mind that even though there are 100 user
patterns, the amount of memory available will be
determined by how much data is recorded into TD-20X.
Storing performance data that describes every instance
where the Hi-Hat Control Pedal is used, and that
includes strike position detection rapidly consumes the
User memory.
You can use the [TOOLS] button to check the state of
memory usage. For more information, refer to “Viewing
the Remaining Memory and the Program Version [F1
(INFO)]” (p. 125).
The procedure is the same when recording with pads or with
a MIDI keyboard.
(1) Select an empty pattern
1.
Press the [PATTERN] button.
The [PATTERN] button lights, and the “PATTERN” screen appears.

You can also select by using the [-] [+] buttons or the [VALUE]
dial.

If all the patterns have been used, pressing the [F5
(NEW)] button will have no effect. Delete an unneeded
pattern (p. 88) before you record.
(2) Set the time signature, the number of
measures, and the tempo
1.
In the “PATTERN” screen, press the [F3 (FUNC)]
button, and then press the [F1 (SETUP)] button.
The “PATTERN SETUP” screen appears.

2.
Use the [CURSOR] buttons to select the parameter.
3.
Use the [-] [+] buttons or the [VALUE] dial to make
settings.
“Time Signature” can be set on an empty pattern. You
cannot set 1/8 and 1/16–3/16.
If “REC Mode” (p. 84) is set to “Replace,” it is not
necessary to specify the “Pattern Length.” Recording will
continue until you press the [STOP] button, and the
number of measures recorded will automatically
become the “Pattern Length” setting.
You can have a count sound (click) inserted before
recording begins by setting “Count In Rec.”
For more information, refer to “Making Click Settings [F1
(CLICK)]” (p. 81).
