Recording performances or knob

movements into a song

(Event Recording)

In addition to putting patterns together to create a song, Song mode also allows you to realtime-record knob movements and your performances on the part keys.

Recording this data in Song mode is referred to as "event re- cording."

Four types of musical data (event data) can be recorded by event recording.

·Pressing the part keys

·Using Part Mute or Part Solo

·Movements of the knobs or switches (only for the selected part)

·Tempo

Event recording allows you to record two or more types of events in the same area, as long as the events are played at the same time.

Event recording always rewrites the previous data ("replace recording"), and when you record your performance, any event recording data previously in that area will be erased. (It is not possible to layer event recording over the same area.)

1.Select the song on which you wish to record events.

2.Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indi- cate Position.

3.Use the dial or the Select keys to move to the position at which you wish to begin recording.

4.Press the Rec key, and then press the Play/Pause key to be- gin event recording.

5.Use the part keys and/or the knobs to perform.

6.Press the Stop/Cancel key to stop event recording.

Deleting event data from a song

To delete event data from a song, you can perform event re- cording over the area that you wish to delete (without operat- ing any knobs or keys).

Checking for song event data

If event data has been recorded in a song, holding down the Shift key and pressing the Motion Sequence key will make step keys 13 through 16 light.

It is not possible to check for event data during playback or recording.

Knob movements that are event-recorded in Song mode will always playback in a way that corresponds to the Smooth type motion sequence setting (and not the Trig Hold type).

If you wish to save the event recording, you must perform the Write operation. If you switch songs or turn off the power without performing the Write operation, the re- corded performance will be lost.

If during playback you operate a knob that had been event- recorded, playback of the events of that knob will be can- celled until it reaches the next position. However if you modify the tempo that was event-recorded, the tempo will be cancelled until the end of the song.

After rewinding a song, it may not be possible to play- back exactly according to the event data.
