Using the Pattern Sequencer

6.Use the R-17 (u, i) buttons to select the instrument part you want to edit.

7.Edit the selected accompaniment pattern instrument part as desired.

•While performing the procedure below, you can press the L-17 (START/STOP) button and perform repeat playback of only the accompaniment pattern you are

editing. Each press of the L-17 (START/STOP) button starts or stops playback.

(1)While [RHYTHM]is displayed on the EASY EDIT screen, specify the number of the rhythm you want to assign to the instrument part of the selected accompaniment pattern.

Settings are configured using the same procedures as those for rhythm selection. Perform steps 1, 2, and 3 under “Playing an Auto Accompaniment” (page E-24). Specifying rhythm number F:101 at this time makes it possible to assign the rhythm data currently being edited with the pattern sequencer.

(2)Configure the mixer settings of the selected accompaniment pattern instrument part as desired.

•For details about mixer setting operations, see step 5 under “To edit an existing rhythm” (page E-107).

•Performing rhythm assignment in step (1) above also will automatically change mixer settings to the initial defaults for the assigned rhythm. Because of this, changing the rhythm after configuring mixer settings in step (2) will cause the configured mixer settings to be cleared.

•When INTRO or ENDING is selected as the accompaniment pattern, the same rhythm is assigned to all eight instrument parts. Because of this, performing rhythm assignment in step (1) for an INTRO or ENDING will change the rhythm of all instrument parts at one time.

8.Repeat steps 5 through 7 to edit other accompaniment patterns and instrument parts.

9.After editing is complete, adjust the tempo of the rhythm as desired.

•The tempo you set here becomes the initial default tempo.

10.For details about how to save the final version of the rhythm as a user rhythm, see “To store an edited or newly created rhythm” (page E-111).

Editing Individual Events (Event Editor)

The pattern sequencer records the keyboard, pitch bender, and modulation operations recorded for each instrument part as “events”. Playing a note on the keyboard, for example, stores the following as events: note start measure, beat, and track, note pitch, note length, and note intensity.

The following editing operations are supported for individual events.

•Deleting events

•Inserting events

•Copying events within a specific range to a desired location

•Quantizing* note events

•Deleting pitch bender events

•Adjusting note event velocity values

•Adjusting note event gate time values

•Selecting the type of events that appear on the Event Editor screen (View Select)

•Directly inputting note events (step input)

*Quantize is an operation that automatically adjusts the note on timing of a note event to match a reference note.

•You can perform event editing on an instrument part whose status (page E-103) is “Recorded Data” or “Empty”. You cannot configure part parameters for an instrument part whose status is “Fix Data”.

•Though you cannot perform event editing directly on an instrument part whose status is “Fix Data”, you can copy such an instrument part to a rec area and edit the copied data. For details about the copy operation, see “To copy preset or user rhythm instrument part data to a rec area” (page E-119).
