•For most drum kits, instrument bank 1 contains the basic drum sound. (The sound name is indicated by the letter

printed above the status keys 1 - 8.) When starting out with an empty rhythm pattern, selecting this bank is convenient.

•Depending on which drum kit is currently selected, the

sound type assigned to status keys 1 - 8 may be different. Switch the drum kit if necessary (→P. 79).

8. Repeat steps 5 - 7 while changing the step lengthas necessary, to enter the desired rhythm pattern.

When you reach the end of the pattern, the unit

automatically returns to the first measure, letting you enter

more instrument sounds.

9. To edit the recorded contents after step input, proceed as follows.• To erase the performance of a specific drum sound

When you advance the record position with the PLAY [R] key, the status key that is input at the current position lights up. By holding down the [DELETE/ERASE] key and pressing the lit key, you can erase the sound of that key. The key 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. Otherwise the start of a note may be missed.

•Make sure that the sound to be erased is part of the currently selected instrument bank.

[P] key.
