Recording A Motion; Settings For Recording - Roland JP-8080 Owner's Manual

Recording a Motion

Motions can be recorded into internal memory.

Settings for Recording

Before you record a Motion, you must set recording-related
parameters.
1
If a card motion is selected, hold down [SHIFT] and
press MOTION [USER] (NUMBER [3]) to select an
internal motion.
2
Hold down [SHIFT] and press MOTION [SET A] /
[SET B] (NUMBER [7]/[8]) to select the motion set
that you wish to record.
Select an internal Motion.
3
Hold down [REC] and press the button ([1]/[2]) to
which the Motion will be recorded.
The [REC] and Motion button indicators will blink, and
you will enter Recording Standby mode.
4
Press [LOOP LENGTH] or [METRONOME] (NUM-
BER [1] or [4]) to select a parameter.
* When in Preview mode, press [PREVIEW] to exit
Preview mode, and then press the desired button.
The indicator of the button you pressed will light.
5
Use [DEC]/[INC] to set the value.
6
To return to the recording standby page, press the
[LOOP LENGTH] or [METRONOME] button
whose indicator is lit, or the [EXIT] button.
Now you can record a Motion. (p.101)
To exit recording standby mode, press [EXIT].
* The time signature is fixed at 4 beats.
[LOOP LENGTH]
Specify the number of measures over which the motion will
be played back/recorded.
1–8 (measure): Playback/recording will continue repeat-
edly from the first measure from the specified number of
measures.
99 (PLAY ONCE): Up to 99 measures can be recorded.
Playback will occur once only, for as many measures as
data exists.

[METRONOME]
This selects the type of metronome sound and its volume.
Beep: VOLUME 4–1:
An electronic sound (chirp) metronome will be heard.
OFF: The metronome will not sound.
Click: VOLUME 1–4:
A pulse sound (blip) metronome will be heard.
Recording a Motion
Four motions can be recorded in internal memory (SET A:
[1]/[2], SET B: [1]/[2]).
It is best to use Hold to playback an arpeggio or pattern
while you record the motion.
Motion recording allows you to "layer" the movements of
two or more knobs/sliders. Since recording will take place
repeatedly over the measures that were specified by Loop
Length, you can easily layer the movements of two or more
knobs/sliders by operating them separately. However,
moving a previously recorded knob/slider will cause the
