Editing With Real Time Write - Yamaha Electone EL-500 Owner's Manual

8) Editing with Real Time Write

To enter sounds with Real Time Write:
1
Raise the rhythm volume, and turn off all the Upper and Lower
keyboard voices by setting each section's volume to MIN.
2
Select the BEAT/QUANTIZE page or EDIT page with the Page
buttons, then start the rhythm by pressing the START button to
engage the Real Time Write operation.
EDIT Page—Real Time Write
Only "CLEAR" is selectable on the EDIT Page in Real Time Write.
CLEAR
As in Step Write, the Clear function is used to erase an instrument
from the rhythm. However, the method of operation is slightly
different.
Hold down the Data Control button that corresponds to CLEAR
in the display, and simultaneously press the key on the keyboard
corresponding to the instrument you wish to erase. All instances
of the selected instrument, irrespective of which tracks they
occupy, will be erased from the pattern.
You can erase all of the sounds on all recorded tracks of the
pattern by holding CLEAR and pressing the lowest key (C1) on
the Lower keyboard. Be careful not to do this inadvertently since
all sounds will be instantly and permanently erased.
3
While the rhythm is running, play the percussion sounds from the
Upper and/or Lower keyboards.
Each instrument sound is recorded and automatically assigned to a
separate track as you play it. All events of a single sound are assigned
to the same track; for example, if you alternately play a hi-hat sound
with a snare drum, all notes of the hi hat will be recorded to one
track and all notes of the snare drum to another track.
4
When you've finished entering instruments to the pattern, stop it by
pressing the START button again, or by selecting the ACC.
(Accompaniment) or SAVE pages.
As in Step Write, you can record up to
sixteen different instrument sounds in a
single rhythm, with each instrument
occupying one of the sixteen available
tracks. Instruments can only be entered
if there are empty tracks remaining. If
all sixteen tracks have been used, no
subsequently recordings can be
performed or heard.
