Saving The Rhythm Pattern You Have Created (Write) - Roland Fantom-Xa Owner's Manual

Playing Rhythms
Using the VALUE Dial or [INC] [DEC]
to Input Values
In this method, you'll use the cursor to specify the step or pitch that
you want to input, and use the dial or [INC] [DEC] to input values.
This method is convenient when you want to edit or modify
previously input data.

steps for the Rhythm Pattern.
7.
Press [F6 (CLOSE)] to close the Rhythm Setup window.
8.
Press [CURSOR] to specify the step or pitch you want to
input.
* When using this method of input, you can use the keyboard to specify
the pitch of the note. (Unlike when step-recording, pressing the
keyboard will not actually input the note.)
9.
Input the velocity value, using either the VALUE dial or
[INC] [DEC].
You can input a tie by turning VALUE all the way to the right
(or using [INC] to raise the value all the way).
• You can also input a tie by pressing [F2 (TIE)].
• To input a rest, press [F3 (REST)].
• You can press [F4 (PREVU)] to audition the pattern you've
input.
* When using this method of input, you can use the pads to specify the
velocity and finalize your input; after you've specified the step and
pitch to be input, strike a pad to input it. (Higher-numbered pads
produce higher velocity values; for example, striking pad 1 specifies a
velocity value of 15, while striking pad 9 specifies a velocity value of
127.)
A maximum of sixteen note numbers (pitches) can be used in a
single pattern.
10.
When you have finished, press [F5 (EXIT)].
