Sampler functions

Using the sampler to make songs

Use the sampler functions of the R24 to easily create backing tracks, rhythm parts and
other basic tracks that have high sound quality. These features can be used to make a wide
variety of music, from demo songs to produced recordings.
1
Make a loop to provide the basic rhythm
of the entire song.
You can assign a rhythm made with the
included loops and the unit's rhythm
functions to a track (pad) and set it to
loop. You can develop a vision for an
entire song by selecting drum loops, for
example, and other materials that inspire
you.

2
As you listen to the rhythm loop that you
prepared, record guitar, bass, keyboard
and other instruments to create more
loop materials.
Keep recording until you are satisfied
with the performance of the riff, backing
part or other musical phrase. You can
loop only the parts of the recordings that
you like.

Repeat step 2 to record other phrases
to use as loops.

necessary to make your song.

When the loops are ready, play them
with the pads and think about the
structure of the entire song.
Play the pads with the rhythm and think
about the flow of the entire song and
how to put the loop materials together.

After you have determined the structure
of the song, create the sequence (loop
performance data for the entire song).
A sequence can be input by playing the
pads along with a rhythm (click) in real
time or step by step (step input). Doing
this, you can complete the basic tracks,
including backing parts and the rhythm
for an entire song.
