Restart Pattern
Fire Key
Holding PLAY and tapping STOP will instantly RTZ (Return-To-Zero) and
continue playing. The stop key may be pressed many times while holding
the play key to get a “stutter” sequencing effect. This also serves the
purpose of instantly starting a new sequence if one is queued.
There can be a slight delay when restarting dense sequences, as there is no
time to pre-queue the initial events. Simpler patterns will restart faster as
there is less “pre-sequence” information to load.
Realtime Recording As described on page 52, there are three ways to record patterns. Realtime
recording is the easiest way to begin recording. Notes and Controller events
are recorded into a pattern. External MIDI data can also be recorded.
Preparing to Record
a Pattern
Before you record a pattern there are a few things you’ll want to set up.
Most of these steps apply to realtime or step recording.
• Erasing the pattern (if necessary).
• Program the Metronome (if necessary). Page 74.
• Define the pattern’s Time Signature and Pattern Length. Page 58.
• Setting the Count-in length (if necessary). Page 57.
• Setting Input Quantize (to correct timing errors in Realtime Recording,
to set the step rate in Step Recording, or to set the repeat rate when using
the front panel Repeat button). Page 55.
Select the desired Channel, Track and Preset for recording.
