Creating a New Pattern (TR-REC)
Here’s how to create a pattern by setting the sample playback timing at the position you like on the steps.
This method of recording is suitable for creating drum patterns.
1.
Press the [PATTERN SELECT] button.
2.
Press the [REC] button.
Empty pads in which no patterns have been recorded blink red.
The metronome sounds when the “Metronome:PTN” parameter is “ON”, which is the SYSTEM parameter “CLICK(P.109)”.
Press pad [9] while holding down the [SHIFT] button to turn the metronome sound on/off.
3.
Press pads [1][16] that are blinking red to select the record destination pattern.
The unit enters pattern record standby mode, and the RECORD SETTING screen appears.

Press the [REMAIN] button.
The pattern recording method switches to “TR-REC”.
