Creating a Pattern by
Recording a Performance
(REALTIME RECORDING)
What is played on the pads or on an external MIDI keyboard
can be recorded (Realtime Recording.)
Your performance will be recorded exactly as you play it,
including hi-hat control pedal movements and Positional
Sensing.
• Brush swish/sweeping and choke (p. 42) cannot be recorded.
If you want to record brush swish/sweep sounds to MIDI, the
only brush kit that can record MIDI data is "MIDIbrsh".
• Please keep in mind that even though there are 100 user
patterns, the amount of memory available will be determined
by how much data is recorded into each pattern.
Storing performance data that describes every instance
where the Hi-Hat Control Pedal is used, and that
includes strike position detection rapidly consumes the
User memory. For more on how to set the TD-8 so that
such performance data is not recorded, refer to "MIDI
Messages for Precise Expressiveness in Performances"
(p. 161).
For instructions on how to check the amount of memory
available, refer to "Checking the Remaining Amount of
Memory" (p. 136).
