During step input, you can not only select a pattern number but also add various other information
such as volume, tempo, bass transpose value, etc. Such pieces of information are called "events".
As an example, we will add a bass transpose value here, to shift the pitch of the bass track in
accordance with chord progression.
Press the [
●
REC] key.
The [
●
REC] key lights up, and step input again becomes
possible.
Use the [
▲
]/[
▼
] keys to bring the indication
"Transps" onto the display.
While "Transps" is shown, you can use the [
▲
]/[
▼
] keys to
select the event type to be added to the current song
position. You can add transpose information or change
existing information.
Use the [
]/[
] keys to move to the start of the
third measure.
In this example, transpose information at the start of the
third measure has a setting value of zero.
• When pattern information is input, transpose
information with a zero value is also input.
• Event information including pattern information can
be entered not only at the start of a measure, but
anywhere within the measure (using sixteenth-note
steps). For details, see page 66.
Use the [VALUE] dial to change the transpose
value for the third measure.
The transpose value setting range is -12 - 0 - 12 (in semitone
steps). For measures 3 and 4, we want to transpose the
original E Major pattern to A Major. Therefore, the required
