Recording Songs
You can create a song by combining previously recorded patterns.
This is done using step recording to assign patterns to a phrase track.
However, please be aware that the patterns themselves are not
placed in the phrase track. Rather,
Pattern Call messages
are
placed in the phrase track to specify which pattern should be played
back. This means that if you later modify the contents of a pattern,
the song playback will also be affected.
When you assign a pattern to a phrase track, its pattern beat will
be ignored, and the pattern will use the time signature of the
beat track. If the pattern beat and the beat track have different
settings, the length of the measures will not match, and the
playback may become incorrectly aligned. If this occurs, re-
specify the time signature of the beat track (p. 123).
1.
Make sure that the preparations for recording have been
performed as described in “Before You Record a New
Song” (p. 122).
2.
Press [ ] twice, or hold down [SHIFT] and press [ ].
The [ ] indicator blinks, and the Step Rec Standby window
appears.
fig.StepRecStdby
If [PATTERN] is lit, press it so its indicator goes out.
3.
Make settings for step recording. Use [CURSOR] to move
the cursor to the desired parameter, and use the VALUE
dial or [INC] [DEC] to set it.
4.
Press [F5 (PTNCALL)].
The STEP REC (PTN) screen appears.
fig.StepRecPtn
5.
Use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to select the pattern
number (1–100) that you want to assign to the phrase track.
The pattern name of the selected pattern is displayed in
“Pattern.” “Length” shows the number of measures in the
pattern.
6.
Press [F6 (PUT PTN)].
A Pattern Call message for the pattern selected by the Pattern
parameter will be recorded. You will advance by the length of
the measures in that pattern, and will be ready to input the next
pattern.
* If you input the wrong pattern, you can press [ ] or [F1 (STEP
BK)] to delete the previously input Pattern Call message.
7.
Repeat the above steps to assign additional patterns.
8.
When you are finished with step recording, press [EXIT] or
[].
The [ ] indicator will go dark.
If you are not satisfied with the step recording that you just
performed, press [ERASE/UNDO] to return to the state prior to
recording (Undo/Redo). After executing Undo, you can use
Redo to revert to the previous state. After executing Undo, you
can execute Redo by performing the above procedure once
again.
Assigning a Pattern to a Phrase
Track
Parameter
Value Explanation
Rec Track TRK 1–TRK 16 Specify the phrase track on
which you want to record.
Rec Mode MIX, REPLACE Select how recording is to
take place.
MIX:
Mix-recording will be carried out. Normally,
you will record using this method. If a perfor-
mance has already been recorded on the
recording-destination track, your newly record-
ed performance will be added to the existing
performance without erasing it.
REPLACE:
Replace-recording will be carried out. If a per-
formance has already been recorded on the re-
cording-destination track, it will be erased as
you record your new performance. Use this
when you want to re-record.
Start Point — Specify the location (mea-
sure-beat-tick) at which re-
cording will begin.
