TIP User Phrases
In addition to the Preset Phrases, you can store MIDI
data you've recorded in the Pattern mode as User
Phrases. User Phrases have the added benefit of
being able to use the sounds of other instruments,
letting you record bass, guitar, piano and other parts
as well as drums and percussion. For details, see
page 81.
TIP Turning the Phrase Voice on or off
In the default settings, when assigning a Phrase to
each track, the track's current Voice will be changed
to the Voice stored in the Phrase (Phrase Voice). If you
do not want to change the Voice and you want to use
only the MIDI sequence data, set the following
parameter for the track to off.
[F3]TRACK [SF3]TR VOICE
When setting the parameters as shown in the display
below, the original Voice in Track 3 will be used, even
if a Phrase is assigned to the track. If you assign
Phrases to other tracks (those with the "On" setting),
the Voices stored in the assigned Phrase will be used.
Next, let's record the bass guitar, guitar, and piano by using
