Layering A Recording Over Previously Recorded Sounds (Mix Recording); Repeated Recording At The Same Location (Loop Recording) - Roland KR117/115 Owner's Manual

■ Layering a Recording Over
Previously Recorded Sounds
(Mix Recording)
You can record a performance layered over a previously
recorded performance. This method is called "Mix
Recording."
1.
In the "Rec Mode screen," select <Mix>.
Press the [Exit] button to return to The "Composer
Menu" screen.
The KR is set to the mix recording mode.
Record the performance using the procedures described
in "Recording While Selecting the Track Buttons
(Redoing Recordings)" (p. 110), "Multitrack Recording
with 16 Parts (16-Track Sequencer)" (p. 136), or other
methods.
* After you have finished with mix recording, return to the
usual replace recording mode.
■ Repeated Recording at the
Same Location (Loop Recording)
You can record a specified passage over and over, layering
sounds with each pass. This method is called "Loop
Recording." This is handy when recording a Rhythm Part.
For example, use this method to make a Loop Recording of a
four-measure segment. First record the bass drum, the snare
drum next, then the hi-hat and so on, layering a different
instrument onto the same four measures. After you have
finished recording the four-measure rhythm pattern, you can
then use the procedure in "Copying Measures (Copy)" (p.
146) to create as many copies of the four measures as you
need to complete your Rhythm part.
1.
Place A and B markers at the beginning and end of the
passage you want to record.
Take a look at "Setting Markers for Repeated Practice
(Marker)" (p. 98).
If you haven't recorded anything yet, then use "Blank
Recording" to create the necessary number of measures
before placing the markers.
