2. Press [DRUM A/B] to select the drum bank
for the instrument to be recorded.
3. Tap the key pad for the instrument being
recorded in time with the metronome.
At this time, the force used to tap the key
pads is recorded as velocity data.
The recorded performance is repeated.
◆ You can check a sound, playing but not
recording it, by holding down [VOICE] and
pressing the corresponding key pad. The
instrument indicated in the pattern display
is specified simultaneously.
◆ You can record rolls and flams by holding down
[ROLL] or [FLAM] while tapping the key pads.
* When playing rolls, even if the roll sound is
extremely rapid, it is recorded at the same note
division as the Quantize setting for the
recording. If you want to record rolls with the
precision (Roll Type; p. 77) exactly as set, turn
Quantize to "OFF."
* Sounds may be delayed or omitted in the
recording when rapid rolls are played at fast
tempos. If this occurs, record at a slower tempo.
* When playing flams, the flam settings (Flam
Interval/Ratio; p. 78) are not recorded. Changing
these settings after recording also changes the
way the flam sounds.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 as needed.
5. Press [STOP] to stop recording.
The REC indicator goes out.
