Auditioning sounds or phrases while recording
Here’s how you can temporarily stop recording while you continue playing back or performing. This is useful
when you want to try out sounds or phrases without actually recording them.
1.
Make sure that [AUTO PUNCH] is dark.
If it is lit, press [AUTO PUNCH] to make it go dark.
2.
Start recording as described in “Basic procedure for realtime recording” (p. 152).
3.
At the point where you want to temporarily stop recording, Press [REC ( )].
The REC indicator will change to blinking, and recording will stop. However, playback will continue.
4.
At the point where you want to resume recording, Press
[REC ( )]
.
The REC indicator will light, and recording will resume. You can use [REC ( )] to turn recording on/off as
desired.
5.
When you’re finished recording, press [STOP ( )].
The REC and PLAY indicators will go dark, and recording will stop.
Step Recording is a method by which you can record individual notes and rests one by one, just as if you were
writing music notation onto a sheet of staff paper.
Inputting notes and rests
1.
Access the SONG screen (Screen Guide; p. 8) or the PATTERN screen (Screen Guide; p. 91).
2.
Use CURSOR [ ] [ ] to select the MIDI track that you want to record.
Selected track is highlighted (that means current track). Recording occurs on the current track.
3.
Use MEAS [ ] [ ] to move the current time to the point at which you want to begin input.
4.
Press [SHIFT] + [REC ( )].
The REC indicator will light, and the STEP REC screen (Screen Guide; p. 62) will appear.
5.
Specify the length of the notes you want to input, in terms of the note value.
•
Step Time
This specifies the note value of the notes you will input. At the right of the Step Time parameter is a parameter
that allows you to specify a dotted note value. You can use this as needed.
•
Duration
This specifies the proportion of the note length that the note will actually sound. Lower values will make the
note play “staccato,” and higher values will make the note play “tenuity” or “slurred.” Normally you will use a
setting of about 80%.
•
Velocity
This specifies the force with which you struck the pad. If you want the force with which you actually struck the
pad to be input as the velocity data, set this to “Real.” If you want to input a fixed velocity value, set this as
desired; as a guideline, p (piano) = 60, mf (mezzo-forte) = 90, and f (forte) = 120.
●
Alternatively, you can use a pedal connected to the FOOT SWITCH jack to switch recording on/off. To do so,
access the PANEL screen (Screen Guide; p. 175) and set the Foot Switch Type parameter to “PUNCH I/O.”
