5.
Use the cursor up/down keys to select the
quantize value.
This setting becomes the length of one step. The quantize
setting can be changed at any time during step input,
using the cursor up/down keys.
4...........Quarter note
8...........Eighth note
12.........Eighth triplet note
16.........Sixteenth note
24.........Sixteenth triplet note
32.........Thirty-second note
Hi.........1 tick (1/48 of quarter note)
HINT
The quantize value setting is linked to the quantize setting for
real-time input. If you change one setting, the other will also
change.
6.
To enter a note, hit the pad corresponding
to the note, and then press the PLAY [ R ]
(RHYTHM STEP) key.
The pad lights up, and the unit advances by one step.

• The intensity with which you hit the pad is also recorded in the
drum sequence.
• If you hit several pads during input, multiple sounds will be
recorded at the same position.
7.
To enter a rest, press only the PLAY [ R ]
(RHYTHM STEP) key.
If you press the PLAY [ R ] (RHYTHM STEP) key by
itself, the position advances by one step, but no play
information is recorded.

8.
Repeat steps 5 – 7 while changing the step
length as necessary, to enter the desired
rhythm pattern.
When you reach the end of the pattern, the unit
automatically returns to the first measure, letting you

enter more sounds.
When you use the PLAY [ R ] (RHYTHM STEP) key to
move step by step through a recorded rhythm pattern, the
pad recorded at the respective position lights up.
You can edit the recorded sequence as follows.
• Erasing an entered note
Repeatedly press the PLAY [ R ] (RHYTHM STEP) key
to move to the position to erase. Then hold down the
[FUNCTION] key and press the respective pad. The note
recorded at that point is erased, and the pad goes out.
HINT
During step input, you can use the [DRUM/BASS] key to call
up the pad bank selection screen and switch the pad bank.
(To return, press the [EXIT] key.)
NOTE
When searching for a note to erase, set the quantize value to
the same value as the smallest value used during recording,
or to a smaller value. Otherwise the start of a note may be
missed.
9.
When you have finished step input, press
the STOP [ P ] key.
The REC [ O ] key goes out and the rhythm pattern
selection screen appears again. By pressing the PLAY
[ R ] key you can check the rhythm pattern that you
recorded.
10.
To return to the main screen, press the
[EXIT] key repeatedly.
Bass sequence step input
Compared to the drum sequence step input, the step input
procedure for a bass sequence is somewhat more
complex, because there are the additional elements of
"pitch" and "duration".
As for drum track step input, you specify the step length
(interval to next note or rest) using the quantize value, and
you use the pads and the PLAY [ R ] (RHYTHM STEP)
key to enter notes and rests. But when you input a note,
you must also specify the duration parameter. This
parameter allows you to vary the actual duration for each
note, while keeping the step length the same (see diagram
on next page).
