This section explains how you can create your own original
rhythm patterns. There are two ways of doing this: real-time
input where you record your play on the top panel pads, and
step input where play is stopped and you enter the sounds one
by one.
Before starting to record, you must make various settings for
the rhythm pattern, such as number of measures and time
signature, and quantize value (shortest unit for recording). By
default, an empty rhythm pattern has a 4/4 time signature and
a duration of 2 measures.
NOTE
After you have started the rhythm pattern input procedure, you
can no longer change the time signature and number of
measures. Be sure to make these settings beforehand.
