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.
NOTE:
The positions at which the sounds are
input will be corrected according to the
predetermined quantize value in Real
Time Write operation.
BEAT/QUANTIZE Page—Step Write

1 BEAT
Determines the time signature used for the rhythm. Available time
signatures are 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4. The 4/4 time is the default setting
when a blank pattern has been selected.
2 QUANTIZE
Determines the resolution of the Step Write function. Step Write
operations involve advancing in "steps" along regularly spaced points
in a measure and Quantize lets you set how many points there will be
in the measure. The default setting is a quarter note.
In Real Time Write, this function is generally the same as that in Step
Write operation. Used with Real Time Write, however, it allows you
to automatically "correct" the timing of the notes you enter,
according to the specified Quantize resolution.
3 ASSIGN (NORMAL/EXTEND)
Selects the instrument set you want to use. Two types are available:
NORMAL: 91 different instruments are assigned to the Upper and
Lower keyboards.
EXTEND: 29 different instruments are assigned to the Upper and
Lower keyboards.
4 METRONOME—Real Time Write only
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 is playing.

6) Entering Percussion Sounds to a Rhythm Pattern

Percussion sounds can be entered by either Step Write or Real Time Write
from the EDIT page. (Sounds can also be entered in the BEAT/QUANTIZE
page by Real Time Write.) As with the BEAT/QUANTIZE page above, the
Step Write EDIT page is selected when the rhythm is stopped, and Real Time
Write EDIT is selected when the pattern is running.
