Recording a Pattern

Ways to Record a Pattern

There are three ways to record a pattern.
Create a pattern by recording your keyboard
Realtime recording
performance and controller operations just as
(Realtime Rec)
you perform them.
Create a pattern by successively recording your
Step recording
(Step Rec)
keyboard performance one step at a time.
This method lets you place notes of each
instrument on the steps at which you want
TR-REC
them to be heard. This method is suitable for
creating drum patterns.

Preparing for Recording

Here's how to prepare for recording a pattern.
1 .
Select a scene (p. 28).
Patterns, groups, and songs are stored for each scene.
Some of the scenes provided with the factory settings
contain patterns and songs. If you want to start with a blank
state and make a new recording from scratch, delete the
existing patterns (DELETE ALL) as described in "Deleting
patterns (DELETE)" (p. 127), or select one of the empty
scenes (INITIAL SCENE) of number C017 and follows.
NOTE
A deleted pattern cannot be recovered.
If you create a pattern and then switch to another scene or turn off
the power without saving the scene, the data you created is lost.
2 .
Select a sound (tone) for the zone (p. 54).
In advance, it's a good idea to decide generally which
instruments will be assigned to which zones. If you want to
record layered tones, you should also make layer settings in
advance. You can also change the selected tone afterward.
Realtime Recording
(Real Time REC)
1 .
Press the [óREC] button.
The REC STANDBY screen appears.
NOTE
Although recording operations can be done even while a pattern
is playing, you can't perform recording operations from the GROUP
screen or the SONG screen.
2 .
Make settings for recording.
Directly touch parameters in the screen to select them, or
use the [VALUE] dial to edit the value.

Quantize is a function that automatically corrects
inaccuracies in the timing at which you play the
keyboard or the pads, tightening-up the rhythmic
accuracy.
You can apply the quantize function during
realtime recording. This setting specifies whether
quantize will be applied during recording.
