Changing The Assignments Of Patterns To Pads - Roland SP-404 Owner's Manual

Chapter 5. Recording a Performance of Samples (Pattern Sequencer)
Deleting All Patterns
Here's how to delete all patterns from internal memory or the
memory card in a single operation.
1.
Press [PATTERN SELECT] so it's lit.
"Ptn" appears in the display.
Pads that have been recorded start blinking.
If [PATTERN SELECT] is not lighted, this procedure will delete
samples (p. 27).
2.
Hold down [CANCEL] and press [DEL].
"dAL" appears in the display and [DEL] lights. BANK [A]–[F/J]
begin blinking.
If no memory card is inserted in the slot, BANK [C/G]–[F/J]
will not blink.
3.
Press one of the bank buttons to specify the memory that
you want to delete.
BANK [A] or [B]: Internal memory
BANK [C/G]–[F/J]: Memory card
If the memory is protected (p. 43), "Prt" (Protected) appears in
the display, and you won't be able to delete any patterns.
If you decide not to delete, press [CANCEL].
4.
Press [DEL].
[DEL] changes from blinking to lit, and the dot in the display
begins blinking.
Once the patterns have been deleted, the dot will go dark.
Never turn off the power while the dot is blinking. Doing so
may destroy not only the patterns you're deleting but also other
patterns and even the memory card.
Changing the Assignments of
Patterns to Pads
You can change the pad to which a pattern is assigned by
exchanging patterns between two pads.
You can also exchange assignments between a pad to which a
pattern is assigned and a pad to which no pattern is assigned.
1.
Press [PATTERN SELECT] so it's lit.
"Ptn" appears in the display.
If [PATTERN SELECT] is not lighted, this operation will change
the assignments of samples (p. 28).
2.
Hold down [DEL] and press [REC].
[DEL] and [REC] both light, and "CHG" is indicated in the
display.
Pads to which patterns are assigned start blinking.
3.
Use the bank buttons and the pads to select one of the
patterns that you want to exchange.
The pad lights.
4.
Use the bank buttons and the pads to select the other
pattern you want to exchange.
The pad lights, and [REC] starts blinking.
5.
Press [REC].
[DEL] and [REC] both light, and the dot in the display starts
blinking.
Once the exchange is complete, the dot goes dark.
When exchanging patterns between internal memory and a
memory card, "FuL" appears in the display if there is not
enough space in internal memory and the memory card, and
the exchange will not be possible.
Never turn off the power while the dot in the display is
blinking. Doing so may destroy not only the patterns being
exchanged, but also the other patterns and the memory card.
