B. Edit Function in Pattern Play and Track Write
2. Chain Function
Chain function is used to allow for
Rhythm that requires more than sixteen
steps for programming. This may be in
the form of the thirty second notes as
would be used in the Scale (A716) to
complete а 4/4 measure, or can be to
accommodate odd rhythms (5/4, 7/8,
etc.) that require more than sixteen steps.
Such a Rhythm would cost more than
two Rhythm Patterns, but the Chain
function enables to combine these pat-
terns (we call it Chain Patterns) to be
counted one. If you have set the Chain
Patterns in Pattern Wirte mode, you can
use them in later Pattern Play or Track
Program mode just by selecting the
Rhythm Pattern included in the set Chain
Patterns.
[Operation]
eSetting the Chain Patterns
With the TR-909 in the Pattern Write
Mode, press the left and the right ends
of the relevant Main Keys. Then with-
out releasing them, hit the Enter Key.
Also, to release a Pattern from the set
Chain Patterns, while holding down the
relevant Main Key, hit the Enter Key.
C. Editing Functions in Track Program mode
[Example]
OTo Chain Pattern 1 and 2.
OTo Chain Patterns 7, 8, 9 and 10.
OTo release 8 from the Chain 7,8,9 and
10.
* The Chain 9 and 10 will remain.
[Note]
e|t is not possible to Chain the Rhythm
Patterns which are not adjoining.
ФЕуеп the entire Pattern Group (16
Rhythm Patterns) can be Chained.
eThe Chain Patterns will play in the
tiempo as they would usually do. You
need to change the Scale before writing
the Rhythm Patterns themselves so that
they will play in the same tempo
throughout.
€The Rhythm Pattern cleared will go out
of the memory, consequently be releas-
ed from the Chain Patterns.
It is possible to delete any Rhythm
Pattern programmed into a Track.
To delete a series of Rhythm Patterns,
you need to designate the first and the
last measures of the series.
[Operation]
(D To designate the measure number of
the first Rhythm of the series that you
wish to delete, hold the Shift Button
down and without releasing it, press
the relevant Main Keys then the Enter
Key. If you do not remember the mea-
sure number, try recalling it by using
the Forward Button.
@:While holding the Shift Button down,
press the Delete Key, the Main Key(s)
corresponding to the last measure of
the series then the Enter Key.
eTo delete a single measure, you do not
need to assign last measure number,
SO skip pressing the Main Keys and
continue to hitting the Enter Key
right after pressing the Delete Key. (> Ж
e To delete the whole Rhythm Patterns
from a certain measure up to the end
of the music, you may press the Last
Measure Button instead of assigning
the number of the last measure by
pressing the Main Keys in the above
operation (2).
