Creating a Pattern
TIP Type, Loop, and Quantize
Type
The "replace" setting lets you overwrite an already
recorded track with new data. The first recording is
lost, and the new one takes its place.
The "overdub" setting lets you record (layer)
additional data to a track that already contains data.
These methods are both realtime recording methods.
The "step" setting (Step recording) allows you to
compose your performance by "writing" it down one
event at a time. For details, see page 82.
Loop
This function plays back the Pattern repeatedly in a
"loop." If Type is set to "overdub" and Loop to "on,"
you can add separate notes or parts in order. For
example, you could record the parts of a drum kit one
by one—recording the kick on the first pass, a snare
on the second, a hi hat part on the third, and so on.
This technique is also convenient for adding non-note,
sound-shaping data, such as that of the Knobs and
Controller.
Since we will be recording with the Arpeggio in this
example, set Loop to "off" here.
Quantize
Record quantize aligns the timing of notes in real time,
as you record. This makes sure that all the notes will
be recorded exactly on the beat, even if your playing
is somewhat off the beat.
Since we will be recording with the Arpeggio in this
example, set Quantize to "off" here.
Set the PartSw (Part Switch) parameters to off
9
in the [F3] ARP display.
When setting the parameter to on, you can use the
Arpeggio on this track.
10
Set the Arpeggio Bank, Category, and Type.
Set the Bank to "pre" and Ctgr (category) to "Bass." Try out
some different bass patterns here.

In addition using the preset Arpeggios, you can also create your
own original Arpeggio data. See page 97.
