TEMPO
([TEMPO] or [TAP TEMPO] of the PHRASE section)
of the phrases in a range of 25-250 BPM. If there are MIDI Clock messages on the MIDI [IN]
port and its assignment to this function has been enabled (see point 10.3), the value of this
parameter will be that specified by the MIDI message.
When the KEYBOARD folder is selected the display will show the video page for definition of the
keyboard range and the Parts associated to the Phrase Recorder:
SPLIT KEY: sets the split key for definition of the keyboard zone in which the Phrase Recorder
can be recalled. If a note beyond the split point is played, the Phrase Recorder cannot be
activated even if the key concerned is acting as pilot key for a given musical phrase. However,
you will be able to play freely in this zone of the keyboard (by means of the Parts not assigned
to the Phrase Recorder), with the phrase being repeated as an accompaniment, for example.
As well as the usual data input devices (encoder, number keypad) this parameter can also be
set using the keyboard key which acts as split for the section.
PART1, 2, 3, 4: these options allow you to set which Part (and therefore which Timbre) is to
perform the musical phrases. If a Part is assigned to the Phrase Recorder, it will no longer
respond to the notes played on the keyboard.
We will now see how to record a musical phrase.
When the [REC] button in the front panel PHRASE section is pressed, the display will show the
main menu of this function:
in which the user can select:
1-RECORD PHRASE: selecting this field enables the function for recording a musical phrase.
2-PHRASE EVENT EDITOR: this option allows you to show on the display and modify the contents
of the musical phrases in the memory.
The RECORD PHRASE function allows the user to record new musical phrases (or to modify
existing phrases) and to save them inside the Set of choice, also assigning their pilot key. We will
now see how to record a musical phrase.
In the video page described above, select field 1-RECORD PHRASE; the display will show the
video page for preparation for recording:
