Recording in TR-REC mode
* You can use TR-REC mode when the currently selected part is the drum

What is TR-REC?
TR-REC is the method of using the category buttons [1]–[16] to specify the
timing at which each instrument will sound.
You can use it while listening to a rhythm that you created.
For example to create the drum pattern shown in gure 1, you would make
the settings shown in gure 2.

For the drum kit, playing an instrument on the keyboard makes the [1]–
[16] buttons light up or go dark, which indicates the steps on which that
instrument is triggered.
Pressing one of the [1]–[16] buttons switches it between lit and unlit,
changing whether the instrument will or will not sound on that step.
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [ó]
(STEP) button.
The STEP EDIT (TR-REC) screen appears.
* When the sequencer is playing back, press the [ò] button to
stop.
2. Press a key to select the instrument you want to
input.
3. Press the [1]–[16] button that corresponds to the
step you want to input.
¹ You can also press the [Í] or [Ë] button while holding down the
[SHIFT] button to move the current step.
¹ When the Step Length is 17 or greater, press the [1]–[4] buttons
while holding down the [SHIFT] button to switch to a dierent
page, in units of 16 steps.
4. Operate a knob or other controller.
When a controller such as a knob is operated, the corresponding
CC (control change message) is input to the currently selected
step.
You can input up to four parameters per step. When you input the
fth parameter, the parameter you inputted rst is overwritten.
5. To edit the steps, follow the steps in “Editing a step”
(p. 37).
