4.

Press [PLAY ( )].

The REC indicator and PLAY indicator will light, and recording will begin. The Now Time and Play List will
begin changing. Start performing.

5.

When you’ve finished recording, press [STOP ( )].

The REC and PLAY indicators will go dark, and recording will stop. If you want to continue to record, continue
from step 1. If you run out of tracks for recording, add tracks as described in “Adding MIDI tracks for recording
MIDI data” (p. 151).

Correcting the note timing while you record (Input Quantize)

Quantize is a function that automatically aligns the notes of your pad performance to accurate timing intervals.
Here’s how you can apply the Quantize function during realtime-recording (Input Quantize).
In addition to the settings described in step 4 of

“Basic procedure for realtime recording” (p. 152)

, you’ll
need to set the following parameter.

Input Quantize Type

This applies quantization to the data you input (perform).

You can use the following functions while recording. For details on these functions, refer to the pages listed.
• Track mute/solo (p. 133, p. 134)
�� Event erase (p. 154)

During recording, you can temporarily pause recording by pressing [REC ( )] to make the indicator blink
(“rehearsal mode”). In this state, striking the pads will not cause data to be recorded. This is useful when you
want to check the sounds you are using, or when you want to practice.

For details on other Quantize-related parameters, refer to “RECORDING PARAMETER (MIDI) popup” (Screen
Guide; p. 16).

Range Explanation

Quantize will not be applied; your performance will be recorded exactly as you play it.
Grid The note timing will be aligned to intervals of the beat you specify. Use this when you want to record
drums or bass with accurate timing.
Shuffle The timing of backbeats will be adjusted forward or backward, producing a “shuffle” or “swing” feel.
