Recording a pattern
(1) POSITION
This shows the currently selected recording
position in "measure:beat:clock" units. You
can move the cursor to this indication and
use the VALUE dial to specify the
measure:beat:clock position, and then strike
a key pad to record directly into the specified
position.
(2) RANGE
This shows the range of the pitch bend that is
recorded at the currently selected position.
By moving the cursor to this indication and
turning the VALUE dial, you can edit the
range of the recorded pitch bend.
Range: 0–12
* If you set RANGE to a setting other than 12, that value
will take effect from the bass note at the next recorded
location. This means that if you want to record pitch bend
data with a RANGE setting other than 12, you'll need to
record a RANGE setting of the desired value and a
VALUE setting of 0 at a point earlier than the bass note
where you want your setting to take effect.
* RANGE is initialized to 12 at the beginning of the
pattern.
(3) VALUE
This shows the value of the pitch bend that is
recorded at the currently selected position.
By moving the cursor to this indication and
turning the VALUE dial, you can edit the
value of the recorded pitch bend.
Range: -8192–8191
6. Repeat steps 4–5 if necessary.
7. When you are finished recording, press
[EXIT].
