Korg 01/W pro - Page 33

Press the REC/WRITE key on the front panel. When this key lights up
you can press the START/STOP key at any time to begin recording.
When the 01/W pro reaches the last measure of the pattern, it will loop
back to the first measure and keep recording. Any new notes you play
will be overdubbed onto the notes you recorded during the first pass.
To stop recording, press the START/STOP key again. Now you can
press the START/STOP key without pressing REC/WRITE first to lis-
ten to the pattern you recorded. Next, let's try placing the pattern on a
track. Move to page 6 (EDIT MEAS). Use the CURSOR UP or
DOWN keys to move the cursor to Put/Copy Pattern, which is the
fourth function down on the right side of the display. Press cursor key
B and enter the number of the pattern you wish to place on the track,
then press cursor keys [D] and [E] to specify the track and the meas-
ure number where you wish to insert the pattern. If you place a pat-
tern on a track that already contains sequencer data, writing to any
measures that contain data will cause the previous data to be erased,
so be sure you enter the track and measure numbers correctly. When
your settings are complete, press cursor key |G} ([PUT]) to place the
pattern on the track. Be careful not to press cursor key |H} ([COPY7)
instead, as doing so will copy the performance data from the pattern
to the track. This will not result in the savings of data that occurs when
you place the pattern onto a track.

Next, let's try recording a bass riff.
We'll record this pattern using program “A16 B. Bass.” The procedure
for recording the pattern is the same as that for recording drum pat-
terns. However, bear in mind that you will want to record the data to a
different pattern number , as well as a different track. If you use the
same pattern number as before, the data you recorded earlier will be
erased. Likewise, if you use the same track number, the bass part will
replace, rather than accompany, the drum pattern. If you place the
drum and bass patterns onto separate tracks and play them back to-
gether, a variety of melodies and ad lib ideas may come to mind. If
you try recording one of those melodies to yet a third track using the
realtime recording method, you may find yourself on the way to creat-
ing a song. Pattern recording can be a very convenient tool for creat-
ing rough sketches of songs. So try taking the time to record those
phrases that occur to you now and again; you may find that it will help
you to increase your musical output!
