Use the C2 knob to adjust the velocity (volume).

If you are creating a non-drum phrase (i.e., if you’ve selected a pattern from the LEAD or BASS group), use the C3 knob to adjust the gate time (note duration) in the same way as for step recording.

* It is not possible to specify the Gate Time if Vintage mode is turned on for a BASS group pattern.

These pages use the example of creating a drum phrase to explain TR Recording, but you can also use TR Recording to create melody or backing phrases. In this case, read references in this explanation to “rhythm tone” as “note.”

If you want to use the keyboard pads to specify the rhythm tone, press the [KEYBOARD] button so its indicator lights. After you’ve specified the rhythm tone, press the [KEYBOARD] button once again so the indicator goes out.

If you want to change the range (Octave Shift) of the keyboard pads, press the [DISPLAY] button enough times to get the OCT indicator to light, and then press the [INC] or [DEC] button.

You can press the [TIE] button to input a tie, or the [REST] button to input a rest. However, it is not possible to input a rest while a RHYTHM group pattern is selected.
