Saving an Edited Pattern

•The 10 rhythm numbers 120 through 129 make up the user rhythm area, where you can store your original rhythms. You can recall a user rhythm with the same operation as that for recalling a built-in pattern, and you can even use a user rhythm pattern as the base for creating a new rhythm pattern.

•The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies power to the memory to retain memory contents while keyboard power is turned off. See “Power Requirements” on page E-15 for important information about the lithium battery.

•You can use the keyboard’s MIDI capabilities to save your original accompaniment patterns to a computer or other external storage device. See “Bulk Sending Keyboard Data” on page E-65 for de- tails.

•With the WK-1800, you can use the built-in disk drive to save orig- inal accompaniment patterns to diskette. See “Using the Floppy Disk Drive (WK-1800 Only)” on page E-67 for details.

•You can store up to 10 accompaniment patterns in the user area, but the actual number of patterns you will be able to store depends on their sizes. If the patterns you store are relatively large, memo- ry become full after fewer than 10 patterns are stored.

Using the Pattern Create Mode

This section describes how to use the Pattern Create Mode to create an original accompaniment pattern.

IMPORTANT!

The procedures in this section all assume that you have read and are familiar with the information under “Pattern Sequencer Basics” on page E-48, and that you already know how to navigate between Pattern Sequencer modes.

❚ NOTE ❚

Be sure to save your work whenever you quit an accompaniment pattern creation session. See “Exiting the Pattern Sequencer Mode” on page E-56 for details.

Pattern Creation Techniques

You can use either of the two following techniques to create an accompaniment pattern.

•Base Pattern Editing

While playing back the part of a built-in pattern or previously cre- ated user pattern, you can add or delete notes, or completely de- lete a part and replace it with a new one.

•From Scratch

With this method, you must input all the parts for all the elements you want to use. With this method, you must use the procedure under “Work Area Clear” on page E-54 to clear the Pattern Sequenc- er work area before you start recording.

The record procedure is identical, no matter which of the above methods you use.

The following procedure tells you how to play back individual elements of the accompaniment pattern currently stored in the Pattern Sequencer work area. If you are going to use the base pattern editing method described above, you can use this procedure to become familiar with all the parts that make up the pattern before you actually start editing it.

To play back elements of the accompaniment�pattern in the work area

1.While the Pattern Sequencer is turned off, press the PATTERN button once to enter the Pattern Create Mode.

selected element.

2. Select the element you want to play back.

•The Normal element is always selected first when you ini- tially turn on the Pattern Sequencer.

•Use the following buttons to select the other elements. NORMAL/FILL-IN ...... Toggles between Normal and Nor-

 

mal Fill-In elements.

VARIATION/FILL-IN ..

Toggles between Variation and Vari-

 

ation Fill-In elements.

INTRO .............................

Selects Intro element.

SYNCHRO/ENDING ...

Selects Ending element.

3. Press the START/STOP button.

•The selected element plays in a loop, repeating itself.

•The display shows measure and beat numbers during ele- ment playback.

•You can perform the following operations during element playback.

•Tempo changes

•Part on and off

•Mixer operations*1

•Tone operations*2

4.To stop playback, press START/STOP again.

*1 The cursor keys and ENTER button function as Mixer operation buttons during playback. Auto Accompaniment uses internal channels CH6 through CH10, which can be used when making part settings. See “Changing the Parameters of a Channel” on page E- 30 for details on using the Mixer to make settings.

*2 You can change the tone setting by pressing TONE button, and then using the number keys, [+], and [–] to specify a tone number. The Pattern Sequencer turns off automatically if you do not perform any operation for about five seconds. You can change the tone settings of each part inside each element.

❚ NOTES ❚

•Pressing the PATTERN button while a pattern is playing stops accom- paniment playback and enters the Pattern Edit Mode.

•Use the Mixer to adjust the volume balance between channels. First set the Global Volume parameter to 127. Next, adjust the Expression pa- rameter volume balance. See “Additional Channel Mode Parameters” on page E-31 for details.
