Recording Operations
(PHRASE RECORDER)
You can record your keyboard performance and knob
operations, and play them back repeatedly.
The recorded performance is called a "phrase. "
You can record up to eight phrases, and each phrase can
be up to eight measures long.
The GAIA SH-01's phrase recorder does not record the
sound that's actually being produced; rather, it records
performance data (MIDI messages) such as "which key was
pressed when and how strongly. "
* The phrase does not record the patch you're using, nor
does it record patch changes or tempo changes you
made during the phrase.

Recording

1. Press the [REC] button to make it blink; the phrase
recorder will enter Rec Standby mode.
The metronome will start sounding.
2. Press one of the NUMBER [1]–[8] buttons to
specify the length (number of measures in the
phrase you're going to record.
The number of measures is indicated by the number of
NUMBER buttons that are blinking, counting from the left.
* When you specify the length of the phrase, any data
previously recorded in that phrase will be erased.

once again.

recording while you rehearse an idea.

The [REC] button will blink. Your performance will not be
recorded while the button is blinking.
