•The quantize setting applies to all patterns. When recording another pattern with the same resolution, it is not necessary to set the quantize value again.

•By changing the quantize setting after recording is completed, you can add another part with different resolution to the same pattern. For example, after recording bass drum and snare drum using sixteenth notes, you may want to record a hi-hat sequence with thirty-second notes.

•If desired, you can change the resolution of a recorded phrase afterwards. For details, see the section "Changing User Pattern Resolution After Recording".

5.While holding down the [REC] key, press the [PLAY] key.

The [REC] key and [PLAY] key light up. The [TEMPO] key flashes in sync with the tempo, and one measure of precount clicks is heard before recording starts. During recording, metronome clicks are heard, and the display shows the current position in the pattern (measure/beat).
