Writing instruments separately

5. Set the mode switch to "PATTERN
WRITE 1st PART."
6. Press the [START/STOP] button.
7. Set the [PRE-SCALE] switch to the
desired position.
For each setting, the indication (scale)
on the panel shows the number of
steps in one beat.
Press the [CLEAR] button to apply the
PRE-SCALE value.
8. Hold down the [CLEAR] button and
press a STEP NO [1]–[16] button to
specify the number of steps.
When you specify this, the same
number of steps is automatically
specified for A and B of the same
basic
rhythm (or intro/fill-in), regardless of
the position of the variation switch at
this time.
If a 16-step rhythm pattern is written to
A, and you then attempt to write a 12-
step rhythm pattern to B, be aware
that specifying this number of steps for
B will also set A to 12 steps.
In this case, you can return to the
previous state by once again
specifying 16 steps.
By holding down the [MENU/SUB
STEP] button and pressing a STEP
NO [1]–[16], you can enter a note that
is skewed 1/2 step later.
Use the STEP NO [1]–[16] buttons to
specify the steps at which you want an
instrument to sound. * The positions of
each instrument's knobs and switch
are not memorized.
9. Use the select switch to select an
instrument.
10. Use the STEP NO [1]–[16] buttons
to specify the steps at which you want
the selected instrument to sound.
