Step Recording Sample Procedure

Each time you input a sample, the input location will advance by the number of measures in the sample (minimum 1/128th of a measure). This is convenient when you are creating a succession of samples that you want to synchronize to the tempo of the pattern.

1.Go to the Pattern Play screen (p. 15).

2.Press [ ] (Record) to get the RECORDING MENU screen.

[ ] (Record) will blink.

3.Press [F3] (SMPL) to get the STEP REC SAMPLE STANDBY (Step Recording Sample Standby) screen.

Alternatively, you can get the same result from the screen

of step 2 by pressing [ ] to move the cursor to “Step Rec Smpl” and pressing [ENTER].

4.Press TRACK [1]–[4] to select the track on which you intend to record.

The button you press will blink, and the track number will appear in the upper left of the screen.

5.Use [ ][ ] to select the parameter you want to set.

Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to set the parameter value.

Parameter	Value	Explanation
Beat	1/4–32/4	Specifies the time signature.
		* This cannot be changed for patterns that already contain data.
Meas	1–32	Specifies the number of measures.
		* This cannot be shortened for patterns that already contain data.

6.	Press [F3] (START) to get the STEP RECORDING screen.
	The upper line of the screen shows the “measure-beat-tick” at which the sample will be input.
	Available pads (i.e., that contain samples) will light.
7.	Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to edit the “Velocity” value.
	Parameter	Value	Explanation
	Velocity	REAL, 1–127	Specifies the volume. With the REAL setting, this will be the actual force with
			which you strike the pad.
8.	Strike the pad that contains the sample you want to input.
	The pad operation will be recorded.
	If you want to use samples from a different pad bank, press [PAD BANK] and switch the pad bank (p. 23).
	You can press [F3] (BACK) to delete the previously input sample.

If you use a sample whose “Trig Mode” (p. 50) is set to ALTERNATE and whose “Loop Sw” (p. 50) is ON, the pad operation will automatically be recorded in a way such that the sample playback does not loop, but stops at the end point of the sample.

9.Repeat steps 7–8 to input more samples as desired.

10.Press [ ] (Stop) to return to the Play screen.

You can execute Undo/Redo by holding down [FUNC] and pressing [ ] (Top) (p. 15).
