STEP4 Press the [FUNCTION] key once more.

The new quantize value is set and the unit returns to the pattern mode.

After recording is completed, it is also possible to change the HINT quantize value and record again on the same track. For example, after recording bass drum and snare drum using quarter notes, you may

want to record a hi-hat sequence with sixteenth notes.

Select the track on which to record by pressing the [DRUM A], [DRUM B], or [BASS] STEP5 key. The keys select drum track A, drum track B, or the bass track.

In this example, select the [DRUM A] key. By hitting the pads in this

BASS DRUM A DRUM B

condition, you can check the sound of the drum kit assigned to

 

drum track A.

 

While holding down the key selected in step 5, use the [VALUE] +/- keys to select

STEP6 the kit number.

 

Pattern

The kit/program assigned to the track can be changed freely. While the [DRUM A] key is held down, the currently selected kit number is shown on the display. This can be changed with the [VALUE +/-] keys.

• Keeping a [VALUE +/-] key depressed changes numbers HINT continuously.

To change numbers quickly, hold one of the [VALUE +/-] keys depressed and press the other key. The numbers will change continuously.

The kit/program for a track can be changed also after the pattern was recorded. It can also be switched while the pattern is playing.

When the kit/program is changed for a user pattern, the pattern will be automatically stored with that kit/program.
