While listening to the metronome, tap the
pads.
Your performance on the pads will be recorded as a bass
sequence according to the quantization setting. The
intensity with which you hit the pads will also be
recorded. When you reach the end of the pattern, the unit
automatically returns to the first measure, and real-time
input continues.

• During real-time input, you can press the [DRUM] or [BASS]
key to switch the target sequence for recording.
• Instead of tapping the pads, you can also input a pattern in
real time by using a MIDI controller connected to the MRS-
1608's MIDI IN connector.
• After concluding real-time input, you can change the quantize
setting and then record on top of the existing sequence.
(Changing the quantize value will not affect the existing
playing information.)

To edit the recorded contents during real-
time input, proceed as follows.

NOTE
• You can use step input to add playing information to a rhythm
pattern recorded with real-time input.
Drum sequence step input
For step input, you enter each note separately, while the
MRS-1608 is in the stop condition. This makes it easy to
enter even complex drum patterns or bass lines that might
be difficult to achieve with real-time input.
For drum sequence step input, you specify the step length
(interval to next note or rest) using the quantize value.
Then you enter notes and rests.
When you hit a pad and then press the [STEP] key,
playing (note) information is entered at that point, and the
step advances by an interval corresponding to the current
quantize value. The intensity with which you hit the pad
is also recorded.
