tern step record.

Unlike song realtime recording, pattern real-
time recording gives you no choice of overdub or
replace recording modes. Pattern recording is
always in overdub mode, meaning that newly
recorded notes will be added to the previous
data in the pattern.
In realtime pattern recording the pattern will
continue to repeat from beginning to end until
you press STOP. This allows you to build up
complex rhythmic parts one note at a time.
To delete: During realtime recording, you can
delete any given note from the pattern by
pressing SHIFT while holding down the key of the
unwanted note.
Allow the pattern to run through the section
you wish to erase.
Important: Pattern data may be recorded when the
SY99 is in Voice mode. However, this data will
not be played when the SY99 is in Voice mode
unless the voice receive channel is set to the
pattern track's transmit channel (usually chan-
nel 16) or "omn" (which means the voice will
play data received on all channels). Refer to the
explanation of the voice receive channel setting
on page 258.
