Press the pad to which you want to assign a pattern.
You can now assign a pattern to the selected pad.
Use the [VALUE] dial to select the pattern number (000 - 399, U00 - U99).
Repeat steps 3 - 4 to assign patterns to other pads.
When the required patterns have been assigned, press the [EXIT] key.
The unit returns to the song mode.
When you hit a pad in this condition, the pattern assigned to the pad is played. This allows you
to play the backing for a song by switching patterns in real time. This is similar to groove play
mode, but you cannot play multiple patterns at the same time, and the pattern switching occurs
only at the measure (or beat) change.
The pattern information assigned to the pads is stored for each song individually.
In song mode, you can transpose the pitch of a pattern assigned to a pad, and select the operation
that will be performed after the pattern is played.
In song mode, while the song is stopped, press the [PAD FUNCTION] key.
Hit the pad with the pattern you want to edit.
Use the [
]/[
] keys to select the parameter from the following.

To mute a specific track, hold down the [MUTE] key and press the [DRUM
A]/[DRUM B]/[BASS] key.
The key lights up, and the selected track is muted. To cancel muting, hold down the [MUTE]
key and press the same key once more.
When you mute a track, the song track will also be muted at the same time. (For
information on the song track, see page 69.)
To stop the song, press the [
■
] key.
The song returns to the start position.
If you press the [
] key instead of the [
■
] key, the unit goes into pause mode. Pressing
the [
] key again resumes playback. During pause, you can use the [VALUE] dial to
adjust the position in measure units.
This section explains how to record songs in real time by assigning patterns to pads and playing
them by hitting the pads in the desired sequence.
To perform real-time input of a song, you must first assign the patterns to be used in the song.
In song mode, use the [
▲
]/[
▼
] keys or the [VALUE] dial to select an empty song.
When you select an empty song, the indication "EMPTY" is shown in the song name field.
• In the factory default condition, songs 00 - 11 have various patterns assigned to the
pads. (For more information, see the list at the end of this manual.)
• When you select a song for which "EMPTY" is shown (in the factory default condition
songs 12 - 99), the pattern-to-pad assignment of the most recent song is used
automatically.
Press the [PAD FUNCTION] key.
The various pad settings can now be edited.
