Entering Percussion Sounds to a Rhythm Pattern – Step Write
You can enter percussion sounds in the INPUT Page of the display. Before entering
percussion sounds, turn off the Upper and Lower keyboard Voices by setting each
Voice’s volume to MIN.
Press the [INPUT] button at the top of the display to call up the
INPUT Page.
Select the part, MAIN DRUM or ADD DRUM, to which you want to
enter the percussion.
In general, main (or basic) drum/percussion instruments (such as Bass Drum,
Snare Drum, and so on) are entered in Main Drum part and others (such as
Tambourine, Triangle) are entered in Add Drum part.
Step Write and Real Time Write
There are two different methods you can use to program rhythms: Step Write and Real
Time Write.
Step Write allows you to enter percussion sounds as individual note values. As a
method, it is very similar to writing down the notes on a sheet of music paper; each note
is entered one at a time, and though you can hear each individual note entered, you
cannot actually hear the pattern playing as you create it. Step Write is good for precision
and for entering percussion sounds whose note placement and rhythmic value has been
determined, such as a bass drum that plays every beat in a measure.
Real Time Write on the other hand, is similar to using a multi-track tape recorder; you
can hear previously recorded parts of the pattern as you record new parts on top. Real
Time Write is best for capturing the “feel” of a rhythm, because it allows you to actually
play the pattern as you are creating it.
Each method has its own advantages and uses. Which method you use depends partly
on the type of rhythm you intend to create and partly on your own personal preference.
You can switch between the two methods in editing to create a single rhythm by the use
of both methods. This would come handy, for example, in programming the basic beats
of a rhythm with Step Write, then using Real Time Write to add percussion accents and
embellishments.
Which mode of the operation is selected depends on the play status of the rhythm. If
the rhythm is stopped, Step Write is automatically selected. If the rhythm is playing,
Real Time Write is selected. See the instructions below for Step Write, and page 153 for
Real Time Write.
NOTE
The volume of the percussion
and accompaniment sound
during use of Rhythm Pattern
Program can be controlled
with the VOLUME button of
the RHYTHM section. When
you quit Rhythm Pattern
Program, the VOLUME of the
RHYTHM section will return
to the previous selected
level.
