fig.3-03

3.Select the pattern to be played at this step.

Refer to Selecting a pattern to play back (p. 24)

4.Press [ENTER].

You will proceed to the next step.

5.Repeat the above steps 3 and 4 to input the patterns to be played for the subsequent steps.

6.After you have finished inputting the last step, press [STOP] to end the recording process.

Auditioning a pattern

While you are recording, you can press [PLAY] to audition the selected pattern. You can select different patterns while you audition them. To stop the auditioning, press [STOP].

Moving between steps

After recording several steps, you can press [BWD] [FWD] to move between steps.

Editing the setup parameters

During song recording, you can edit setup parameters (p. 26) such as part mute and effect settings and then press [ENTER] to register the state of those parameters. This will simply store the setup parameters of each pattern as song data, and does not affect the original pattern in any way.

By using this to change the mute status of a pattern or to change the MFX type, you can have a single pattern play in a variety of ways as the song progresses.

Tempo (BPM) can be input/edited only at the first step.

It is not possible to change the tempo during the song.
