6. To enter a note, hit the pad corresponding to the

note, and then press the [STEP] key.

The note is recorded, and the unit advances by one step, corresponding to the quantize value set in step 4. You can also use the [BANK/OCTAVE] key to select a different register before hitting a pad.

•The intensity with which you hit the pad is also recorded on the bass track.

•By hitting several pads during input, you can create a chord. The maximum number of simultaneous sounds in the rhythm section is 30 for the drum track and bass track together.

•Instead of tapping the pads, you can also use a MIDI controller connected to the MRS-1266’s MIDI IN connector for bass pattern step input.

7. To enter a rest, press only the [STEP] key.

If you press the [STEP] key by itself, the position advances by one step (duration of quantize value) but no play information is recorded.

8. Repeat steps 5 - 7 while changing the quantizevalue and duration as necessary, to enter thedesired bass pattern.

When you reach the end of the pattern, the unit automatically

returns to the first measure, letting you continue the input.

9. To edit the bass track after step input, proceed as

follows.

■To erase the performance of a specific pad

When you advance the record position with the [STEP] key, the pad that is input at the current position lights up. By holding down the [DELETE/ERASE] key and pressing the lit pad, you can erase the sound of that pad. The pad goes out, and the playing information is erased from the rhythm pattern.

NOTE

When searching for a note to erase, set the quantize value to the same value as the smallest value used during recording, or to a smaller value.

10. When you have finished step input, press the STOP

[P] key.

The unit returns to the rhythm pattern screen. Press the

PLAY [R] key to hear the pattern that you recorded.

11. To terminate pattern recording and return to the

main screen, press the [EXIT] key.

Setting the rhythm pattern chord information

When you have recorded a newly created rhythm pattern in a rhythm song, and you later change the root or chord type, the bass phrase will be transformed based on the original chord information of that rhythm pattern. To use a newly created rhythm pattern in a rhythm song, it is therefore necessary to specify root and chord information that matches the bass phrase.

1. From the main screen, press the [PATTERN] key so

that the key lights up.

The rhythm section goes into rhythm pattern mode, and the

[RHYTHM] key flashes.

2. Turn the dial to select the pattern for which tospecify chord information, and press the

[RHYTHM] key.

The [RHYTHM] key is now constantly lit, and the unit is in

the condition for creating and editing rhythm patterns.
