Recording a User Pattern
In this mode you enter one note at a time, rather than playing along
with the click sounds. You can create very complex patterns that
would be difficult to record using Real-time Record Mode.
1
Press the
[PATTERN]
button to place the unit in Pattern Mode. Notice that
the “
PATTERN
” indicator is flashing beside the current Pattern Number.
The current position “ ” indicator is also flashing.
2
Select a pattern from “
050
” to “
099
” to record into by rotating the Jog Dial
or by using the
[ +1 ]
and
[ –1 ]
buttons. You should select an empty pattern
to record into.
Patterns “
000
” to “
049
” are preset patterns and cannot be modified.
Patterns “
100
” to “
149
” are combination patterns and are recorded in a
different manner. See page 38 for an explanation of how to record
combination patterns.
3
Select a section of the pattern you want to create. Press and hold the
[SECTION]
button, then press the Drum Pad button for the section you want
to record. The appropriate Section indicator lights up, for example, the
“
INTRO
” indicator.
■
Step Record Mode
NOTE
See page 40 for a description of the indicators on the LCD.
WARNING
Be careful not to overwrite a pattern accidentally. The “
EMPTY
” indicator will light
for patterns that contain no data. If the pattern you have selected already contains
data, you may want to clear it before you start to record a new pattern. See page 55
for further details.
