5.4 Recording patterns in Perform Write mode
To get into PERFORM WRITE mode, press the WRITE button while in PERFORM mode (PERF
is lit).
In perform write mode you can record patterns. You can either step - program patterns or play and
record instruments in real time with the aid of the real time write function (see REAL TIME
WRITE).
Sound parameter changes can NOT be recorded in PERFORM WRITE mode!
You can set the pattern’s time signature by setting its scale and length (Last Step). See also
"Pattern functions".
All empty patterns default to scale = 16, last step = 16. This means that the pattern has the time
signature 4/4 and consists of 16 steps each with a length of 1/16
th
note.
Patterns that are longer than 16 steps occupy two or more pattern memory slots. To edit the steps
after 16 in a 24 step pattern, increase the pattern number by 1 with the UP/DOWN buttons.
Decreasing the pattern number by 1 with the UP/DOWN buttons changes back to the first 16
steps.
Select the instrument you want to play or edit by pressing one of the instrument buttons labelled
BASS DRUM, SNARE DRUM, CLOSED HIHAT ans OPEN HIHAT. BASS DRUM is selected
automatically when the WRITE button is pressed.
The 16 step buttons light up at the steps where the selected instrument is playing. Pressing a lit
step button switches its light off and mutes the selected instrument at that step.
You can press any step button while the sequncer is running to switch it on or off. Use the
instrument buttons to quickly switch between the three instrument tracks.
If you press the ACCENT button, the 16 step buttons will indicate at which step the selected
instrument is played with an accent. Press the step buttons to switch the accentuation of
individual steps on or off. Press the ACCENT button repeatedly to switch between an instrument
track and its accent track. The ACCENT knob adjusts the strength of the accent (see also sound
generation).
Note: There is only one ACCENT track for the hihat section, because open hihat and closed hihat
can never sound at the same time.
In this mode you have direct control over each instrument’s sound by means of the sound control
knobs. The pattern sequencer serves only to trigger the selected Perform kits 0 - 99. The selection
is displayed as “F xx” (xx = Perform Kit number). For further details see "Perform Mode" section
