TR-REC Input Method Supported in STEP
EDIT Mode
What is TR-REC?
TR-REC is a method in which you use the [1]–[16] buttons to
specify the timing at which each key plays a note.
You can use it while listening to a rhythm that you yourself created.
For example to create the drum pattern shown in figure 1, you
would make the settings shown in figure 2.

When pressing a key of its corresponding note that you want to
edit, the [1]–[16] buttons light or go dark to indicate the steps on
which that instrument will sound.
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. Press the [STEP EDIT] button.
Arpeggio playback stops, and the STEP EDIT - COPY I-ARPEGGIO
screen appears.
2. Use the [2] knob to select the data that you want to edit,
and then press the [ENTER] button.
3. Press the key for which you want to enter a note.
4. Use the [1]–[16] buttons to illuminate each step at which
you want a note to sound.
5. To check the playback, use the [S3] button to play/stop.
If you want to change the number of steps, or the grid and
shuffle settings, you can edit these in the ARP PART EDIT screen.
If you want to change the tempo, use the [TEMPO] knob.
6. When you have finished editing, press the [EXIT] button.
To save the pattern data that you created, save the scene.
&“Saving a Scene” (Owner’s Manual)
When you exit STEP EDIT mode, the ARP PART EDIT Switch and
Step Mode are automatically turned “ON” for parts whose steps
you edited in STEP EDIT mode.
Instead of an arpeggio, you can immediately play the pattern
data that you created in STEP EDIT mode.
