Editing with Real Time Write

To enter sounds with Real Time Write:
1.
From the BEAT/EDIT page, start the rhythm
pattern by pressing the START button.
2.
While the rhythm pattern is running, play the
percussion sounds from the Upper and/or Lower
keyboards.
A metronome is provided for rhythmic reference. Listen to the metronome
click as you play the sounds, using it as a guide to keep in time and tempo.
The pattern will automatically repeat (or "loop") every two measures.
The metronome can be turned on and off from the Real Time Write EDIT page (shown below).

Metronome (METRO.)
Turns the metronome click on or off. When set to ON, the metronome sounds on each beat of the
measure (for example, three times per measure in 3/4 time) to serve as a rhythmic guide when
programming patterns.
The metronome can be turned on or off while a rhythm pattern is playing. The metronome is
automatically set to ON when a blank pattern has been selected, and is set to OFF when an existing
pattern is copied.
Each instrument sound is recorded and automatically assigned to a separate
track as you play it. All events of a single sound are assigned to the same
track; for example, if you alternately play a hi-hat sound with a snare drum,
all notes of the hi-hat will be recorded to one track and all notes of the snare
drum to another track.
3.
When you've finished entering instruments to the
pattern, stop it by pressing the START button again, or
by selecting the ACC. (Accompaniment) or SAVE pages.
USING THE CLEAR FUNCTION IN REAL TIME WRITE:
As in Step Write, the Clear function is used to erase an instrument from the rhythm pattern. However, the
method of the operation is slightly different. Hold down the CLEAR button, and simultaneously press the
key on the keyboard corresponding to the instrument you wish to erase. All instances of the selected
instrument, irrespective of which tracks they occupy, will be erased from the pattern.
You can erase all of the sounds on all recorded tracks of the pattern by holding down CLEAR and
pressing the lowest key (C1) on the Lower keyboard. Be careful not to do this inadvertently since all
sounds will be instantly and permanently erased.
