Editing pattern sequence data

Here’s how to edit patterns that you have recorded or patterns that are saved in

memory.

If you want to keep the changes you make to a pattern, you must perform the Write/Rename operation before you select another pattern or turn off the power.

Editing a phrase pattern (Note Edit)

When using Step Recording, the trigger and note number are recorded simulta- neously, but the gate time cannot be set in detail. If you want to be more precise, you can readjust the trigger or note number, and adjust the gate time. A phrase pattern for a keyboard part consists of the following three items of data. You can adjust each of these three items for each step.

Trigger: whether the part will sound at this stepNote number: the pitch that will be soundedGate time: the duration that will be sounded

1.Press the STEP REC key (it will light).

Press the [] cursor key until the parameter display reads “Step Rec.” The value display will show the target step.

2.Turn the dial to select the target step.

If the KEYBOARD key is off at this time, the step key that corre- sponds to the target step will blink.

If the pattern length is 2 or greater, you can hold down the SHIFT key and turn the dial to advance by one unit of length.

As an alternative to using the dial, you can also select the target step in the following ways.

—Hold down the SHIFT key and press a select key to move for- ward or backward one step at a time.

—When the KEYBOARD key is off, you can press a step key to select the step that corresponds to that key.

If the pattern length is 2 or greater, you can use the select keys to switch the select LEDs (red) and move the target step in units of one length.

The maximum number of steps will depend on the length, beat, andlast step setting.When the KEYBOARD key is on, the step keys will not indicate thetarget step.
