Drum Sequence Step Input - Zoom HD16 Operation Manual

Reference [Rhythm]

Drum sequence step input

For step input, you enter each note separately, while the rhythm
pattern is in the stop condition. This makes it easy to enter even
complex drum patterns or bass lines that might be difficult to
achieve with real-time input.
For drum sequence step input, you specify the step length
(interval to next note or rest) using the quantize value. Then
you enter notes and rests.
When you hit a pad and then press the [REPEAT/STEP] key,
playing (note) information is entered at that point, and the step
advances by an interval corresponding to the current quantize
value. The intensity with which you hit the pad is also recorded.
If you only press the [REPEAT/STEP] key, no playing
information is entered, but the step advances by an interval
corresponding to the current quantize value. This becomes a
rest (see illustration below).
1.
At the rhythm pattern screen, select an
empty rhythm pattern number.
If necessary, set the bar length, time signature, and quantize
value (→ p. 92).
2.
Press the [RHYTHM] status key repeatedly,
until the key is lit in green.
3.
Hold down the [SHIFT] key in the pad section
and press pad 9 (KIT/PROG) so that the pad
lights up.
When the pad is lit, the pad bank selection screen is shown.
4.
If necessary, turn the dial and select the pad
bank to play.
For details on pad banks, see page 90.
When the setting is completed, press the [EXIT] key to return
to the rhythm pattern selection screen.

The key lights up and the display indication changes as follows.
In this condition, step input of a drum sequence is possible.

shows the quantize value, and the second line shows the
current position in measures/beats/ticks.
6.
Use the cursor up/down keys to select the
quantize value.
This setting becomes the length of the note you want to enter.
The setting can be changed at any time during step input.

12 ......................Eighth triplet note
16 ......................Sixteenth note (default)
24 ......................Sixteenth triplet note
32 ......................Thirty-second note
Hi ......................1 tick (1/48 of quarter note)
HINT
The quantize value setting is linked to the quantize setting for
real-time input. If you change one setting, the other will also
change.
7.
To enter a note, hit the pad corresponding to
the note, and then press the [REPEAT/STEP]
key.
The note is recorded, and the unit advances by one step,
corresponding to the quantize value set in step 6.
Q:4 Q:4
HINT
• The intensity with which you hit the pad is also recorded in the
drum sequence.
• If you hit several pads during input, multiple sounds will be
recorded at the same position.
8.
To enter a rest, press only the [REPEAT/
STEP] key.
If you press the [REPEAT/STEP] key by itself, the position
advances by one step (duration of quantize value) but no play
information is recorded.
