Record
The voice assigned to sequencer rhythm track (page ??) is automatically
selected when the PATTERN mode is engaged. While the metronome (or the
existing pattern data) is playing, anything you play on the keyboard will be
recorded. Of course, you don't have to record everything at once. The pattern
continuously cycles as you record. You can start with just the bass drum, for
example, then record the snare, cymbals, and so on until your pattern is com-
plete.
Erasing Notes
To erase a note while recording, hold the [SHIFT] key ("ERASE" will
flash in the lower left corner of the display) and press the key on the
keyboard corresponding to the instrument you want to erase, for the
duration of the notes you want to erase.
While recording you can change the tempo, quantize value, or
velocity value as required.

will go out and the SY85 will return to the pattern play mode.

Check the Pattern just Recorded
You can now listen to the part you've just recorded by pressing the
sequencer [RUN] key.
You can also use the PATTERN NAME function, described on
page 207 of the "Feature Reference" manual, to give your
pattern an original pettern name.
