Creating Drum Track Patterns - Korg NAUTILUS Series Operation Manual

Creating Drum Track patterns

To create a Drum Track pattern, you'll use the
SEQUENCER > Pattern/RPPR– Pattern Edit page to convert
a user pattern into a user Drum Track pattern. Once you've
converted the pattern in this way, you'll be able to use it with
the Drum Track in each mode. These converted Drum Track
patterns are held in internal memory even after you turn off
the power. This means you can manage them together with
the Programs and Combinations.
Preparing a user pattern
You'll first need to prepare the user pattern that you want to
convert to a Drum Track pattern.
To create a user pattern, you can record the pattern in real-
time in the Sequencer Pattern/RPPR– Pattern Edit page, or
step-record it.
Alternatively, performance data from a track can be
imported into a pattern, meaning that performance data
you've created in a track or SMF data you've loaded in
MEDIA mode can be used as a user pattern. To do this,
execute the Get From Track menu command in the
SEQUENCER > Pattern/RPPR– Pattern Edit page.
Converting a Sequencer pattern to a
Drum Track pattern
1. Press the front-panel MODE button to enter
SEQUENCER mode.
2. Go to the SEQUENCER > Pattern/RPPR– Pattern
Edit page.
3. Select the user pattern that you want to convert to a
Drum Track pattern.
Set Pattern to User, and use Pattern Select to select the
desired pattern.
4. Choose the menu command Convert to Drum Track
Pattern to open the dialog box.
5. Use the To "Drum Track Pattern Select" field to
specify the user Drum Track pattern number that will
hold the converted data. When you execute the
command, the data will be overwritten onto this
number.
6. If you select the "All Patterns available in Song ***"
option, all patterns in the song that contain note data
will be converted, starting with the number you
specified in step 4.
7. If you execute this command with "Note Only"
selected, only the note events will be converted.
8. Press the OK button to convert the pattern.
Alternatively, press the Cancel button or the EXIT
button to exit without making changes.
