tion. The indicator on the RECORD button turns off. The

song returns to the beginning.

Step 6: Second-pass recording

After the first recording, you can start recording again over the same song, to add parts or notes.

1.Press the RECORD button again. Its indicator will turn on. The Record page will appear again:

Record:Untitled

M:--- 4/4 120

2.If needed, set the Record options again (see page 29). You can choose Overdub to add notes, Overwrite to replace notes (up to the point where you stop recording), or one of the Punch options to record over a passage.

3.Choose the part to be recorded. When you enter Record mode again, the indicator of the recorded part will be turned on, the other off. Press a PART button to make its indicator start flashing, and record over that part(s).

4.If needed, select a different sound or sound combination. Please remember that if you record in Layer or Split mode over a single recorder’s part, only the Main sound will be recorded.

When you record over an already recorded part, the sound is the same as the previous recording. However, you can select a different sound.

5.If needed, change the tempo with the TEMPO buttons. If the Tempo Record option (see page 29) has been activated, any tempo change will be recorded.

6. You cannot change the time signature (or drum pattern) chosen during the first recording pass. However, if you are start- ing to record from the end

of the song (you can move there by assigning the highest possible value to the M, Measure, parameter), you can choose a different time signature (or a drum pattern) for a new section to be appended at the end of the current sec- tion. This is useful to create a song with different time sig- natures, or with a drum pattern starting to play at a section following the first one (see diagram).

7.Choose a measure to start recording from. You can start recording from a measure other than the first one, by changing the M (Measure) parameter before starting the recorder.

Record:Untitled

M:001 4/4 120

+/YES

Record:Untitled

M:099 4/4 120

8.Start recording.

9.When done, press the STOP or RECORD button to stop recording.

Changing sounds to a recorded song

3.Make the PART 1 and/or PART 2 indicator flash, depend- ing on the part(s) you want to change the sound to.

4.Choose a different sound (or sounds). If you are editing a single part, and you select a Layer or Split sound combina- tion, only the Main sound will be considered.
