Recording Midi In Real-Time - Korg kronos Operation Manual

Creating songs (Sequencer mode)
Note: In each of the eighteen preset Template Songs, track 1
is always assigned to a Drum Program. (In some cases, other
tracks may also have Drum Programs.)
Following the names for each of the preset patterns, the
musical style and the name of the most suitable Drum
Programs are partially displayed. (Refer to the VNL for a
complete list of Drum Programs.)
By loading a drum track and the corresponding preset
pattern, you can instantly set up a Drum Track to match the
Template Song.
8. To load the Drum pattern, press the OK button.
After the pattern is loaded, the Measure will count up
automatically. You can then copy another pattern if desired.
For instance, you can use different patterns one after the
other to build up a song, with different patterns for verse,
chorus, and bridge.

Recording MIDI in real-time

When you've finished with "Preparations for recording," as
described above, you can start recording!
Real-time recording lets you record your performance on the
KRONOS, including the notes that you play, joystick and
knob movements, and so on. This is in contrast to step
recording, which is described in a later section.
The default is to record onto a single track at a time. As an
alternative, multitrack recording allows you to
simultaneously record multiple channels of data onto
multiple tracks. This is handy for use when recording RPPR,
KARMA, or the Drum Track, or for recording the output of
an external sequencer in a single pass.

Overwrite
With this method, the musical data previously recorded on a
track is overwritten by the newly recorded data. When you
perform overwrite recording on a previously-recorded track,
its musical data will be deleted and replaced by the newly
recorded data.
Normally you will use this method to record, and then
modify the results by using other types of realtime recording
or MIDI event editing.
1. Use "Track Select" to select the track that you want to
record.
2. Set the Recording Setup to Overwrite.
3. In "Location," specify the location at which you wish
to begin recording.
4. Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch, and
then press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
