Clear internal memory

A song to be recorded must first be loaded into internal memory. You will need to clear the memory before recording a new song.

Press [6], then [ENTER].

The Song Initialize display (UTILITY/SngInit) appears.

Press [F6] (Execute) to clear internal memory.

Record the drums using realtime recording

Realtime recording allows you to record your performance as you play. It’s pretty difficult to record multiple percussion instruments in realtime recording. We’ll use the Loop function to record a bass drum, snare drum, hi-hat, etc., over a specified area repeatedly until your drum set is complete. For the this drum set, we’ll use the “PR-A:001 PopDrumSet 1” sounds assigned to Part 10 of a Performance.

<Procedure>

Press [SEQUENCER].

Make sure that “00:InternalSong” is selected.

If another song is selected, move the cursor to the song number and select the song by turning the VALUE dial or pressing [DEC], then pressing [ENTER].

Press [REC].

The Realtime Rec Stand-by display (SEQ) appears.

To cancel recording, press [EXIT] or [REC].

Press [d] to move the cursor to “ ,” and set the tempo to 70. You can obtain this tempo by turning the VALUE dial counterclockwise or pressing [DEC].

Press [r] to move the cursor to “Loop,” and select 4, by turning the VALUE dial clockwise or pressing [INC].

This allows you to record four measures repeatedly.

Press [d] to move the cursor to “Mode,” and make sure that MIX is selected.

This allows you to record the measures with multiple percussion instruments played separate- ly.
