Rhythm Program
Press the [SAVE] button to save the pattern, or press [CANCEL]
to abort the operation.
After saving the Rhythm, be sure to quit Rhythm Pattern Program (page 174) before
turning the power off. Turning off the DDK-7 without quitting Rhythm Pattern
Program erases the User Rhythm you have created.
Remaining Memory (amount of memory available for storing rhythms) is shown on
the display as a percentage.
When the pattern cannot be saved because of lack of available memory space, a
“Data full” message appears. Return to the previous page by pressing [OK] in this
case.
You should periodically save your rhythm as you are creating it and check the
amount of remaining memory. If the rhythm currently being edited cannot be saved
because of a lack of memory space, erase some of the less necessary percussion
sounds with the [CLEAR] button in the INPUT Page, and try saving the pattern
again.
Confirming rhythm patterns before saving
The rhythm pattern you have created will be saved with 15 sections collectively into
one rhythm. Before saving, we recommend that you confirm the contents of each
section.
Example: When saving the Main A and Main B sections you have created into one user rhythm
First select “Main A” by using the [SECTION] button on the SETTING Page,
then press the [START] button on the panel. This lets you hear the Main A pattern
you have created. Confirm that the rhythm pattern is what you want to save as
Main A. Next, select “Main B” by using the [SECTION] button, then play it back
and confirm that this is what you want to save as Main B.
If the Main A and/or Main B patterns contain undesired data or no data, create the
desired data by using the Assemble function (page 153).
After confirming the desired section (Main A and Main B here), we recommend
that you confirm that all other sections contain no data. If unnecessary data is
contained in some sections which you don’t want to save, delete that unnecessary
data. This can reduce the data size of the user rhythm.
