BEAT/QUANTIZE Page—Step Write
1
1 BEAT
Determines the time signature used for the rhythm. Available
time signatures are 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4. The 4/4 time is the default
setting when a blank pattern has been selected.
2 QUANTIZE
Determines the resolution of the Step Write function. Step
Write operations involve advancing in "steps" along regularly
spaced points in a measure and Quantize lets you set how many
points there will be in the measure. The default setting is a
quarter note.
In Real Time Write, this function is generally the same as that in
Step Write operation. Used with Real Time Write, however, it
allows you to automatically "correct" the timing of the notes you
enter, according to the specified Quantize resolution.
3 METRONOME–Real Time Write only
Turns the metronome click on or off. When set to ON, the
metronome sounds on each beat of the measure (for example,
three times per measure in 3/4 time) to serve as a rhythmic
guide when programming patterns. The metronome can be
turned on or off while a rhythm is playing.
BEAT/QUANTIZE Page—Real Time Write
6) Entering Percussion Sounds to a Rhythm Pattern
Percussion sounds can be entered by either Step Write or Real Time
Write from the EDIT page. (Sounds can also be entered in the BEAT/
QUANTIZE page by Real Time Write.) As with the BEAT/QUANTIZE
page above, the Step Write EDIT page is selected when the rhythm is
stopped, and Real Time Write EDIT is selected when the pattern is
running.
2 3
NOTE:
Beat can only be changed in Real Time
Write when the rhythm is stopped.
NOTE:
The metronome is automatically set to
ON when a blank pattern has been
selected, and is set to OFF when an
existing pattern is copied.
