Sequencer mode
Realtime recording to a pattern
Before you begin recording a pattern, turn off the 
memory protect setting in Global mode (☞p.38).
When realtime-recording a pattern, a pattern of the 
specified number of measures will playback repeat-
edly, allowing you to continue adding musical data to 
it.
1 In Sequencer mode SEQ 5.1: RPPR, select the Pat-
tern page.
2 Use “Track Select” to select the track.
The pattern will sound with the program and set-
tings of that track.
3 Set “Pattern Bank” to User, and set “Pattern 
Select” to the user pattern number U00–U99 that 
you wish to record.
4 If necessary, set “Metronome” and “Resolution”.
5 Select the utility menu command “Pattern 
Param.”.
A dialog box will appear.
6 In “Length,” specify the length of the pattern. In 
“Meter,” specify the time signature.
7 Press the [F8] (“OK”).
This completes preparations for recording.
8 Press the [REC/WRITE] key, and then press the 
[START/STOP] key.
Pattern recording will begin. Play the keyboard and 
operate the joystick or other controllers to record 
your performance.
If the KARMA function has been set to operate on 
the track that is selected by “Track Select,” the play-
back of the KARMA function will be recorded in the 
pattern. For details on KARMA function settings, 
refer to PG p.85 and PG p.103.
If you want the KARMA to start at the moment 
that recording begins, turn on KARMA [ON/OFF], 
hold down a chord on the keyboard, and then start 
recording. The KARMA will start at the moment 
that recording begins, and will be recorded.
When you record to the end of the pattern, you 
will return to the beginning of the pattern and con-
tinue recording.
The musical data that is recorded will be added to 
the previously-recorded data.
9 During pattern recording, you can erase unwanted 
musical data by pressing the [REC/WRITE] key, or 
by checking the “Remove Data” check box.
For details refer to “Loop All Tracks,” step 6 
(☞p.64).
0 Press the [START/STOP] key.
Pattern recording will end.
To use a user pattern that was recorded in this way 
(or a preset pattern), you can execute “Put to Track” 
to assign the pattern to a track (
☞PG p.92).
A pattern can also be used in the SEQ 5.1: RPPR, 
Setup page (☞p.70, PG p.93)
Although you may operate controllers etc. to 
record control data in a pattern, you should restore 
the control data to its normal value within the pat-
tern. If you fail to restore the normal value, unnec-
essary control data may remain in a “stuck” 
position when you place the pattern in a song or 
use the RPPR function to play the pattern. How-
ever, the following control data will be automati-
cally reset to the following values when the song 
or RPPR function finishes playing the pattern, or 
when playback is halted.
