Creating a rhythm pattern
You can create your own rhythm patterns based on existing patterns and fill-ins, and you can also cre-
ate a blank rhythm pattern from scratch.
Here are some of the things you can do.
• Add percussion to an existing rhythm pattern
• Replace just the snare drum on an existing rhythm pattern
• Create a new rhythm pattern

pattern
Recording
1 Press the MODE button to select pattern play mode (the PATTERN LED lights up).
2 Turn the genre selector to select the genre, and press the 1–14 buttons to select the pattern on
which you want to base your new pattern.
3 To record the pattern, press the button while holding down the MODE button.
To record a fill-in, press the FILL 1 or FILL 2 button while holding down the MODE button.
The unit enters pattern edit mode, and the recording status changes to Rec Pause (the but-
ton blinks red).
Tip: When the unit is in Rec Pause, you can play the pads in the same way as with pad play mode.
This lets you check the sounds that are assigned to each button (pad) or practice the pattern
before you record.
4 Set the tempo, quantize, swing and other recording settings as necessary.

5 Press the button to start recording (the button lights up red).
Recording begins after the pre-count (during which the beat shows as a negative value).
6 Tap the 1–14 buttons and the FILL 1/2 buttons with your fingers to record what you play.
The pattern plays back repeatedly, and what you play is overdubbed as you record.
Note: If there are too many simultaneous sounds or if the tempo is too fast, some sounds may not
be produced.
Note: You can record around 64 notes per pattern, and 32 notes per fill-in.
If the number of notes you record exceeds 80%, the ratio is shown in the display.
If the number of recordable notes reaches zero, is shown in the display, and no more notes
can be added.
Once you erase some notes and the number of recorded notes decreases, the indication
disappears, and you can resume recording.
