Pattern Recording
You can use any of the 100 user pattern locations in
the TD-20's sequencer to record your playing on the
pads. Use the following steps to record a basic
pattern.
Note: By default, the TD-20's pattern time signature
is set to 4/4. To learn how to change it, or to adjust
other pattern parameters, refer to the TD-20 Owner's
Manual.
1.
Press PATTERN so it's lit.
2.
Press F5 (NEW).
3.
Press REC—the metronome starts.
4.
If you wish, press TEMPO, and then turn the
VALUE dial to adjust the tempo.
5.
Press PLAY.
The TD-20 provides a one measure countoff.
- "-1" appears in the display for the duration of
the measure.
6.
After the countoff, play the pads in time with the
metronome.
7.
When you're finished recording, press STOP.
8.
Press PLAY to hear your new pattern.
Pad Pattern
As we noted earlier, you can hit one of the pads in a
kit to start and stop—or tap through—a pattern. Use
the following steps to assign a pattern to a pad:
1.
Select the desired kit.
2.
Press INST so it's lit.
3.
Press F3 (CONTROL).
4.
Hit the pad to which you want to assign a
pattern.
5.
Turn the VALUE dial or press the INC+ / DEC-
buttons to select the desired pattern.
6.
Strike the same pad again to start and stop the
pattern.
Tip: Some of the TD-20's preset kits have a pattern
already assigned to a pad. If you'd like to turn off the
Pad Pattern feature for such a kit, follow Steps 2-4
above. At Step 5, turn the VALUE dial counter-
clockwise or press the DEC- button to select OFF.
