1
In the Play screen, rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial until "6" appears in the left
display.
"INIT PATCH" appears in the right display.
* As Patches 6–99 are all programmed at the factory with the INIT PATCH (Phrases 1–3
unrecorded), you could alternatively choose any patch from 7–99).
fig.01-121d
If all of the phrases are blank, this is indicated by "- - -" in the lower part of the
display.
For each phrase, "o" indicates that data has been recorded to that phrase, while "–"
indicates the phrase is blank.
The INIT PATCH is already set to Multi mode (p. 28).
2
Set the GUIDE LEVEL knob to an appropriate position (other than OFF), then
press the TEMPO pedal or [TAP TEMPO] at a constant rhythm.
The tempo is set to the interval between taps of the button or pedal.
This procedure enables you to record while listening to a rhythm performance
(called the "Guide") synchronized to a tempo that's been set beforehand.
You can adjust the volume of the Guide by turning the GUIDE LEVEL knob.
* Turn the GUIDE LEVEL knob to OFF when you want to record without using the guide.
3
To have recording start automatically at the same time the performance
begins, make sure the [AUTO REC] indicator is lit.
This means that Auto Recording (p. 47) is on.

to the Rhythm Sound—About
the Guide" (p. 39).
Do not turn off the power
while recording is in progress.
This may result in loss of
recorded material.
