Recording while listening to a rhythm pattern

You can record your performance while using the internal rhythm as a guide.

1Select a rhythm pattern.

Refer to “Selecting and playing a rhythm pattern.” Make sure that a rhythm pattern is selected, and that the rhythm is not turned off.

2Adjust the recording level of the input source, and record.

Refer to “1. Recording methods.”

When you press the [REC] key and enter record-ready mode, the selected rhythm pattern will begin playing. When you press the [PLAY] key to start recording, the selected rhythm pattern will start again in sync with the beginning of the song. Play your instrument along to the rhythm.

Changing the tempo of the rhythm

Each rhythm pattern has a tempo setting stored for it. To change the tempo, select the rhythm pattern, and then edit “TEMPO” to set the tempo, as described in “3. Adjust the tempo” in the previous section.
