* In the internal drum kits, the same kick drum sound is
assigned to both Kick 1 and Kick 2. Similarly, the same snare
drum sound is assigned to both Snare 1 and Snare 2. Because
of this, if Kick 1 and Kick 2 (or Snare 1 and Snare 2) are played
at the same time, the same sound will be doubled, and this may
alter the volume of the sound or the way it is sounded. If this
occurs, erase the performance data for one of the sounds.
* Kick 1 and Kick 2, and Snare 1 and Snare 2 are all transmitted
from MIDI OUT using different note numbers.
* High Q can be used only with the "HOUSE" and "808" drum
kits. Note that no sound is produced if it is used with other
kits.

use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to "ERASE," then
press [ENTER].
Drum sounds are erased while "ERASE" is displayed.
Press the track button for the track to which the drum
sound you want to erase is assigned. The performance
data for that drum sound is deleted as long as the track
button is held down. When you have finished your
erasures, press [ENTER] again.

Recording with uniform timing (Quantize)

With Realtime Recording, since data is recorded to the pattern
at the same timing as the TRACK buttons are pressed, it is
inevitable that there will be some timing discrepancies. In such
instances, you can use the Quantize function to record while the
timing is corrected automatically to the nearest quarter note,
eighth note, sixteenth note, or other timing.
1. With the Realtime Recording standby screen showing
in the display, use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to
"QTZ."
