Ä Using The Step Edit Function; Editing Each Step Of The Arpeggio Performance (Step Edit) - Roland JUNO-X Reference Manual

I-ARPEGGIO
Using the Step Edit Function
The JUNO-X lets you edit arpeggio performance data using the TR-REC
input method.
What is TR-REC?
TR-REC is a method in which you use the [1]–[16] buttons to
specify the timing at which each key plays a note.
You can use it while listening to a rhythm that you created.
For example to create the drum pattern shown in figure 1, you
would make the settings shown in figure 2.

When pressing a key of its corresponding note that you want to
edit, the [1]–[16] buttons light or go dark to indicate the steps on
which that instrument will sound.
Pressing one of the [1]–[16] buttons switches it between lit and
unlit, changing whether the instrument will or will not sound on
that step.
Editing Each Step of the Arpeggio
Performance
(STEP EDIT)
The arpeggio performance is always recorded inside the JUNO-X.
If you like the performance, you can use the STEP EDIT function to
extract and edit it.
The edited pattern can be used as a user pattern for the arpeggiator, or
used in your computer as MIDI data.
You can also create a user pattern from a blank state without using
recorded data.
