Editing a pattern map

Inserting a new event into the pattern map

When you add a new event to the pattern map, the pattern map event is inserted at the specified measure. The pattern map will lengthen by the corresponding number of meas- ures, and the subsequent event numbers will be increased ac- cordingly.

If you insert a new two-measure event between events 001 and 002

Add a two-measure pattern after pattern A (New Map Event)

Measure	2	3	4
1

Before	PatternA	PatternC
editing	Event:001	Event:002
1	2	3	4	5	6
After	PatternA	PatternB		PatternC
editing	Event:001	Event:002		Event:003

(1)Select the location at which you want to insert an event.

Access the SESSION DRUMS “PatternMap” tab page, and click event “002” to select it.

(2)Create a new event.

•Click the New button to open the New Map Event dialog box.

•Set the Length cell to “002.”

•Set the parameters as desired, and click the OK button (or press the panel YES key).

(3)Verify that the event was inserted as you intended. Check the pattern map in the “PatternMap” tab page.

Replacing an event

When you perform an edit that involves changing the number of measures in an event, the starting measure loca- tion of all subsequent events will be shifted toward the end of the song (if you increase the number of measures) or to- ward the beginning of the song (if you decrease the number of measures) by the number of measures being added or re- moved from the pattern map event.

If you change pattern B to a one-measure Fill pattern (Edit Map Event)

Measure	2	3	4	5	6
1

Before	PatternA	PatternB		PatternC
editing	Event:001	Event:002		Event:003
1	2	3	4	5
After	PatternA	Fill	PatternC
editing	Event:001	Event:002	Event:003

(1)Select the pattern map event that you want to edit. Access the SESSION DRUMS “PatternMap” tab page, and select (highlight) the pattern map event that you want to edit.

(2)Edit the step.

•Click the Edit button to open the Edit Map Event dia- log box.

•Edit the parameters, and click the OK button (or press the panel YES key).

(3)Verify that the step was edited as you intended.

•Check the pattern map in the “PatternMap” tab page.

Overwriting a portion of an existing event

If you modify only some of the measures in an existing pat- tern map event by overwriting, the number of events will in- crease, but the total overall number of measures will not change. You can also overwrite an event that spans multiple existing events. In this case, the number of steps will de- crease, but the overall number of measures will not change.

If you overwrite a Fill pattern (one measure) onto a portion of event 002

If you change pattern before pattern B to a one-measure Fill pattern

	Measure		2		3			(Overwrite Map Event)
Before	1						4		5	6
		PatternA		PatternB					PatternC
editing
		Event:001		Event:002					Event:003
After	1		2		3		4		5	6
		PatternA		Fill		PatternB			PatternC
editing
		Event:001		Event:002		Event:003			Event:004

(1)Select the location at which you want to overwrite. Access the SESSION DRUMS “PatternMap” tab page, and click Pattern Map “002” to select it.

(2)Specify the pattern that you want to overwrite.

•Press the Overwr. button to open the Overwrite Map Event dialog box.

•Click the Fill button (highlighted), and then click the OK button (or press the panel YES key).

(3)Verify that the event was overwritten as you intended. Check the pattern map in the “PatternMap” tab page.

Deleting an event

The events located after the deleted event will be shifted to- ward the beginning of the song by the number of measures that were deleted.

This operation cannot be undone.

(1)Select the event that you want to delete.

Access the SESSION DRUMS “PatternMap” tab page, and select (highlight) the pattern map event that you want to delete.

(2)Delete the event.

•Click the Delete button. A dialog box will ask you to confirm the operation.

•Click the Yes button (or press the panel YES key) to delete the selected pattern map event.

If you click the Select All button to turn it on, all events other than “001” will be deleted, and the settings of event “001” will be initialized.

(3)Verify that the event was deleted as you intended. Check the pattern map in the “PatternMap” tab page.

6. Tempo

The tempo of a D3200 song is controlled by the tempo track. By creating a pattern map, you can either have the entire song play back at one tempo, or enter tempo changes throughout the song to create variations in the tempo. It is also possible to record and play back tempo changes from an external MIDI device.

In order to change the tempo clock or to record a pattern map, you must turn off the Clip Monitor button in the “SessionDr.” tab page. (Refer to “Song Guide function”).

Playing the entire song at the same tempo

Record a pattern map. When doing so, don’t change the tem- po setting. We suggest that you set the “SessionDr.” tab page parameter RecMode to Pattern, so that tempo changes are not recorded.

All events will play at the tempo specified by the tempo track. (→p.64 “6-2. Pattern map tempo”)

Alternatively, you can edit the tempo of event “001” (the first event of the pattern map) to make the entire song play back at the tempo you specify. (→“6-2. Pattern map tempo”)
