Creating songs (Sequencer mode)
5. Set the loop region to M: 001–004, so that measures
1–4 will be loop‐recorded.
6. Specify the recording‐related parameters (p. 34
"Recording the drum track" step 2).
You can use the Rehearsal function when loop‐
recording.
If you want to use the Rehearsal function, turn
"AutoRehrsl" On.
The Rehearsal function suspends recording when
you switch tracks during loop recording, while
allowing the recorded content to continue playing
as a loop. While recording is suspended (i.e., when
rehearsal mode is on), nothing will be recorded
even if you play the keyboard. This lets you find an
appropriate sound by playing the keyboard to try
out various programs, or rehearse the phrase or
pattern you'll be recording.
7. Press the Start/Stop button to start recording.
Play the keyboard to record each instrument of the
drum pattern. Start by recording just the kick. Then
record the snare, hi‐hat, and so on, successively
layering the notes to record the entire drum pattern.
If you're not satisfied with the recording
Hold down the KEY button, and at the timing of the
unwanted notes, press the key whose notes you
want to delete.
This lets you delete specific notes without stopping
loop‐recording.
When you finish recording the drum track, let's
switch to the bass program on track 2 and record
without halting recording.
8. Press the function 08 button to select track 2.
You'll switch to track 2 (the function 02 LED will
light), and Rehearsal will turn on. The location will
return to the beginning, and the drum track will
play as a loop. At this time, nothing will be
recorded even if you play the keyboard.
If you want to use a different bass program, press
the  button to choose "Program Select." Then use
the  buttons to select a different bass program.
While listening to the drum track, you can play the
keyboard to try out various bass sounds. When
you've decided on a sound for track 2, and have
worked out the phrase you'll be recording, you can
resume recording.
9. Press the function 02 button to turn Rehearsal off.
The function 02 LED will change from being
steadily lit to blinking at regular intervals; now you
can record the track.
Each time you press the function button, you'll
alternately turn Rehearsal on or off.
10.Play the keyboard to record on track 2.
11.Press the Start/Stop button to stop recording.

The function 02 LED will blink at irregular
