Steps 2—6 above can be skipped if the default parameters
(4/4 time, 1 bar) are acceptable.
You are now ready to program your pattern.
Tap the red START button and you will hear the "click
track" rhythm guide. The first click of each bar is accented
(the actual time of the click function—whether the click
is heard on every 1/4 note, every 1/8 note, etc.— can be
adjusted using the CLICK function to be discussed later).
The RX11 will continue cycling through the full length of
the pattern while you record. Adjust the tempo using the
TEMPO control, and start playing. For multi-bar patterns
the first bar can be located by watching the LCD display
panel: e.g. "REALT.W BAR 02" indicates that the current
bar is bar 2. There's no need to try and input all instruments
at once. Just program one or two at a time, adding new
instruments on successive cycles of the pattern. Input accent-
ed beats by using the ACCENT button (See "Accents" in
the "THE INSTRUMENTS" section).
Make a mistake? Single notes can be cleared by holding down
the CLEAR button (top row) and tapping the appropriate
instrument button at the timing of the note that is to be
cleared. When the pattern is complete, press the STOP/
CONTINUE button.
You can add new instruments and rhythm lines to already-
programmed patterns by simply selecting the pattern, entering
the real time write mode, pressing the START button and
writing as usual. The time signature or bar length of a pro-
grammed pattern CANNOT be changed. Time signature and
number of bars can only be programmed in clear patterns
(see the CLEAR function, below).
