(Record) Mode (Erase, Merge)
This is where you select the record mode, i.e. what is going to happen to the data of the cur-
rently selected pattern. In Erase mode, all data of the selected track (see page 41) are
replaced by the new data you record. Erase is automatically selected for empty tracks.
M=r3e means that the new data you record will be added to the existing data on that track.
Select Merge to add a few notes here and there, to “memorize” the address of another Tone
or Drum Set, or to modify the settings on page 4 (see below).
Key (C, C#, D, Eb, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B)
This parameter allows you to tell your G-800 what key you are going to record the track in.
Specifying the right key before recording is crucial for realtime use of that track or pattern.
The chord recognition system of the Arranger is indeed based on the assumption that all pat-
terns are in the key of C.
Thus, whenever you play a C (in Arranger Intelligent mode) or C chord in the chord recogni-
tion area, the Arranger will use the original notes of the pattern you recorded (no realtime
transposition). If you recorded that pattern in F# without telling the G-800, F# is what you
will hear when you play a C or C chord in the Arranger mode.
Therefore, if you wish to record in D, select [*. Failure to do so may go unnoticed in the User
Style mode, but once you are back in the Arranger mode, you will soon notice “there is a
problem”.
Unlike the E-86, the G-800 no longer requires you to record all User Style patterns in C,
which is, of course, very convenient. Remember, though, that the transposition required to
meet the Arranger’s “C assumption” can only be correct if you tell the G-800 what key you
record in,
Note: There is no need to specify the key for 1ADR tracks.
(Metron) Mode
The default setting of this parameter is Recorra, so that the User Style metronome is only
audible whenever you record a new track. During playback of that track, the metronome
remains silent, Here are the other metronome modes:
Record The metronome only sounds during User Style recording.
Play | The metronome only sounds during User Style playback in User Style mode.
Rec&Ply | The metronome sounds both during recording and playback.
Always The metronome even sounds while the User Style is not playing.
