TR-REC
What is TR-REC?
TR-REC is the method of using the TONE CATEGORY buttons [1]–[16] to specify
the timing at which each instrument will sound.
TR-REC is available any time the phrase is playing or stopped. You can use it
while listening to a rhythm that you yourself created.
For example to create the drum pattern shown in figure 1, you would make the
settings shown in figure 2.
