save it, go into the Edit mode, set the PARAME-
TER SELECT dial to "WRITE PATCH?", and press

What to do If You Have
Difficulty Producing Patterns
If the grid numbers don't advance as expected during
step input, you may have played the sound for a grid
mark before the string for the previous grid mark
stopped. If two strings are played in combination,
Arpeggiator interprets them as chord input. The unit
advances to the next grid number when the current
string stops, so care is needed to differentiate between
single notes and chords as you play.
If data is not placed at the desired grid mark during real-
time input, try inputting the data with the tempo great-
ly slowed down. Also, if the sound is prolonged the way
you want, vary the A-DURATION setting to 100, 120,
FuL (full), or the like, and listen to the results.
If you have recorded an arpeggio phrase on an external
sequencer and wish to use MIDI to export this as a GR-
30 pattern, make sure that the note information is
arranged correctly in the original data. If the data con-
tains unwanted note information due to picking noise or
the like (such as extremely short note length), remove it
from the data before you export it.
