Creating an original song (pattern)

■ Synchronizing the playback of the sampled phrase

Here's how the phrase you sampled in "Selecting a phrase sampled from CD for part
16" (p. 6) can be synchronized to the sequencer pattern.
1.
Press part button [16] so it's lit.
2.
Press [AUTO SYNC] so its indicator is lit.
The sample used by the patch of part 16 will synchronize to the tempo of the pattern.
3.
Press [REC].
4.
Press [F1 (Realtime)].
The realtime-recording standby screen will appear.
For details on the settings, refer to p. 37 in the Owner's Manual.
5.
Press [PLAY] to begin recording.
The pattern will play repeatedly.
6.
Press [OCT -] so its indicator is lit.
The range of the velocity pads is shifted one octave lower.
7.
At the beginning of the pattern and at the beginning of the third measure,
press velocity pad [10] and hold it for two measures each time.
While you hold down the velocity pad, the phrase will play back and will be
recorded.
8.
Press [STOP] to stop recording.
If you change the tempo of the pattern, the tempo of the sample will change
correspondingly.

■ Copying a part from an existing pattern

A part from a preset pattern or a different user pattern can also be copied and used.
For the procedure, refer to p. 44 in the Owner's Manual.

Editing a pattern

You can edit a pattern in various ways. For example, you can correct the timing of
the performance in a pattern you've recorded, or change the number of measures.
