Recording Patterns - Korg kronos Operation Manual

Creating songs (Sequencer mode)
Note: Exclusive messages are always recorded on the
current track selected by "Track Select." In this example,
they are recorded on MIDI track 9.
Note: In the MIDI event edit screen you can view the
recorded exclusive events and their location. Exclusive
events are displayed as "EXCL".
To view these events, go to the P4: Track Edit– Track
Edit page, and select the page menu command "MIDI
Event Edit." Then in the Set Event Filters dialog box,
check Exclusive and press the OK button.

Recording patterns

Recording and editing patterns
You can record patterns in either of two ways; realtime
recording or step recording. However, pattern realtime
recording differs from song realtime recording in that you
can use only Loop type recording.
You can edit patterns by using Event Edit operations to
modify the recorded data or insert new data. You can also
use the Get From MIDI Track page menu command to
convert a desired region of performance data from a MIDI
track into a pattern. Conversely, you can use the Put to
MIDI Track or Copy to MIDI Track page menu
commands to place or copy the performance data from a
pattern into a MIDI track.
You can also use your patterns with the Drum Track, via the
Convert to Drum Track Pattern menu command on P5:
Pattern/RPPR.
Recording patterns in real-time
Here's how you can use realtime recording to create a
pattern. User patterns can be accessed by the RPPR function
in the same way as preset patterns, and can be copied to or
placed in a song. Playback data from a track can also be
copied to a pattern.
When realtime-recording a pattern, a pattern of the specified
number of measures will playback repeatedly, allowing you
to continue adding musical data to it.
1. Create a new song, and as described in "Preparations
for recording" on page 82, set the track to the
program that will be used by the pattern.
2. Go to the P5: Pattern/RPPR– Pattern Edit page (See
the diagram below).
92
Exclusive events cannot be changed to a different type of
event. Nor can other events be changed into exclusive
events.
4. If you go to the page (e.g., P8: Insert Effect) that
shows the parameters you adjusted in realtime, you
can watch the recorded changes be reproduced while
the song plays back.
Exclusive messages that can be recorded in real-
time
The following exclusive messages can be recorded in real-
time:
• Exclusive messages received from an external MIDI
device
• Parameter changes in Sequencer mode (see "System
Exclusive events supported in Sequencer mode" on
page 663 of the Parameter Guide)
• Master Volume universal exclusive messages assigned to
the foot pedal or a knob
3. Use "Track Select" to select the track that you will use
to record the pattern.
The pattern will sound with the program and other
settings of the selected track.
4. Set "Pattern (Pattern Bank)" to User, and set "Pattern
Select" to U00.
User patterns U00–U99 can be created for each song.
5. Select the page menu command "Pattern Parameter".
A dialog box will appear.
6. Set the number of measures in the pattern to a
"Length" of 04 (four measures), and set "Meter" to a
time signature of 4/4. Press the OK button.
7. As necessary, set "REC Resolution" to apply realtime
quantization.
8. Begin realtime recording.
You can record in the same way as you did when
recording tracks with Loop All Tracks. (See "Loop All
Tracks" on page 85.)
Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch, and then
press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
After the pre-count, pattern recording will begin. Play the
keyboard and operate the joystick and other controllers to
record your performance.
When you reach the end of the pattern, the sequencer will
return to the beginning of the pattern and continue
