Beat The sequence will start at the next beat, in sync
with the arranger's or sequencer's tempo. It will
start from its very beginning (i.e., tick 1 or mea-
sure 1).
Rec Length (Recording Length)
This parameter sets the recording length (in measures) of the
sequence. Its value is always equal to, or a divider of, the Chord
Variation Length (see next parameter).
Warning: If you assign CV Length a value lower than Rec
Length, the value of Rec Length is not immediately updated in
the display. Therefore, you are still free of changing the value of
CV Length, before the measures exceeding its value are deleted
(see warning in "CV Length (Chord Variation Length)" below).
However, if you press START/STOP to begin recording, the real
Rec Length value is changed to the new one, even if the display
still shows the old value.
CV Length (Chord Variation Length)
This parameter sets the total length (up to 32 measures) for the
selected Chord Variation. When playing a Style, this will be the
length of the accompaniment pattern, when the chord corre-
sponding to the Chord Variation is recognized on the keyboard.
Warning: If you reduce the Chord Variation Length after
recording, any measure after the selected length will be deleted.
Be very careful when setting the CV Length to a lower value
after recording! If it happens, we suggest to exit from record
without saving (see "Exit from Record" on page 141).
Metro (Metronome)
This is where you can set the metronome.
Off No metronome click will be heard during record-
ing. In any case, a one-bar precount will be
played before starting recording.
On1 Metronome on, with a one-bar precount before
starting recording.
On2 Metronome on, with a two-bar precount before
starting recording.
Tempo
Select this parameter to use TEMPO/VALUE controls to set the
tempo.
Note: This value will not be recorded, and will only be used for test-
ing the pattern at various speeds while editing or recording.
Hint: You can always change the Tempo, when other parameters
are selected, by keeping the SHIFT button pressed, and rotating the
DIAL.
Meter
This is the meter (time signature) of the sequence. You can edit
this parameter only when the sequence is empty, i.e. before you
begin recording anything.
NTT (Note Transposition Table)
The Note Transposition Table (NTT) determines how the
arranger will transpose pattern notes, when a chord is recog-
nized that does not exactly match the original chord of a Chord
Variation. For example, if you only recorded a Chord Variation
for the CMaj chord, when a CMaj7 is recognized on the key-
board the arranger must transpose some notes to create the
missing 7th.
Root The root note (in CMaj = C) is transposed to the
missing notes.
PAD
Fifth The 5th note (in CMaj = G) is transposed to the
missing notes.
i-Series The original pattern must be programmed on the
"Maj7" or "min7" chords.
NoTrnsp No transposition table is applied. The pattern will
always play as recorded, with no added notes.
However, it will be transposed to other keys,
depending on the played chord.
As recorded with
NTT = Root or 5th
(Key/Chord = CMaj)
PAD
As recorded with
NTT = i-Series
(Key/Chord = CM7)
Note: The NTT does not work if the "Track Type" parameter is set
to "Drum".
Pad Track info area
This line lets you see the Sound assigned to the selected track.

Sound assigned to the Pad track. The triangle means you can

Octave Transpose
This (non editable) indicator shows the current octave
PAD
transposition. To change this value use the OCTAVE
TRANSPOSE buttons on the control panel.
While this value is not memorized with the Pad, the transposi-
tion is used during recording. For example, if you play a C4 and
a +1 octave transposition is selected, a C5 is recorded.
