Recording Songs
Assigning a Pattern to a Phrase Track
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. 141).
1.
Make sure that the preparations for recording have been
performed as described in “Before You Record a New Song”
(p. 141).
If you will be recording into an existing song, load the desired song
into internal memory (p. 149). Then use [FWD] or [BWD] to specify
the measure at which you want to start recording. The recording-
start measure is indicated by “M=” at the top of each PLAY screen.
2.
Press [REC], and then [6 (Step Rec)].
The [REC] indicator will blink, and the Step Recording Standby
window appears.

3.
Make settings for step recording. Use [CURSOR] to move
the cursor to the desired parameter, and turn the VALUE dial
or press [INC]/[DEC] to set it.
Rec Track
Specify the phrase track or pattern on which you want to record.
“TRK” will appear if you press [1 (Song List)], and “PTN” will
appear if you press [2 (PTN)].
Value:
AUTO, TRK 1–TRK 16
PTN001–PTN100 (* when recording on a pattern)
Rec Mode (Recording Mode)
Select how recording is to take place.
Value
MIX:
Mix-recording will be carried out. Normally, you will
record using this method. If a performance has already
been recorded on the recording-destination track, your
newly recorded performance will be added to the
existing performance without erasing it.
REPLACE:
Replace-recording will be carried out. If a performance
has already been recorded on the recording-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 (measure-beat-clock) at which recording will
begin.
4.
Press [7 (Ptn Call)].
5.
Turn the VALUE dial or press [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 [8 (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 [BWD] or [1 (Step
Back)] 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
[STOP].
The [REC] indicator will go dark.
If you are not satisfied with the step recording that you just
performed, press [MENU], and from the Menu window that
appears, select “
Undo/Redo
” 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 the above procedure once
