Recording to a sequence
To loop the phrase with the sequence function, proceed as follows:
01. Press the [ MAIN ] button to display the MAIN page.
02. In the Sq field, select a sequence that says “unused.”
03. In the Pgm field, select the track that you assigned the recorded sample to.
You can record the sequence in real time by pressing the [ PLAY START ] button while pressing the [
REC ] button.. For the purposes of this tutorial, we will enter an event with the step recording in the
STEP EDIT mode to play the phrase at the beginning of the sequence.
04. Press the [ MODE ] button and then [ PAD 14 ] (STEP EDIT).
In the STEP EDIT page, the performance data of the pad will be listed.
05. Turn the [ DATA ] wheel to select “001.01.00”.
06. Press the [ OVER DUB ] button.
The LED of the button will be lit which indicates that you are in STEP EDIT mode.
07. Hit the pad that contains a phrase sample.
The event of this pad will be entered at the point of 001.01.00.
If you hit a different pad by mistake, press the [ F4 ] (DELETE) button. The entered event will be
deleted.
08. Press the [ STOP ] button.
This deactivates the STEP EDIT mode.
Setting the same number of bars for sample and sequence
A new sequence is set to 2 bars in default. If the recorded phrase is also 2 bars, there is no problem. However, if
the number of the bars of the phrase is different from that of the sequence, you need to adjust the number of bars of
the sequence to match that of the phrase.
09. Press the [ MAIN ] button to display the MAIN page.
10. Select the Bars field and press the [ WINDOW ] button.
The Change Bars window will be displayed. Set the number of the bars in the New bars field, and press
the [ F5 ] (DO IT) button. This closes the window and changes the length of the sequence.
Setting the same tempo for sample and sequence
Finally, you need to set the same tempo for the sample and the sequence.
11. Press the [ PLAY START ] button to play back the sequence.
12. In the
(tempo) field, adjust the tempo of the sequence.
If the end of the phrase overlaps the beginning of the next phrase, set the tempo slower (smaller value), if
there is silence part between phrases, set the tempo faster (greater value).
