Patterns

In the same way as Phrase tracks, you can also record perfor-

mance data in Patterns. Patterns are handled separately to

Phrase tracks, but specific Patterns can be assigned for play-

back by a Phrase track. In cases such as percussion or bass

where identical phrases are repeated frequently in one song,

it’s convenient to repeatedly assign the appropriate Pattern

to a Phrase track using step recording. In this case, the

Phrase track contains only the Pattern Call numbers that

refer to the desired Pattern, and not the actual Pattern data.

Therefore the same Pattern can be used any number of times

with a negligible increase in memory used.

The RPS function for immediate playback also applies to

Patterns. Patterns are therefore convenient for live perfor-

mance, if you’ve recorded necessary performance data as

Patterns and take them to the gig.

Patterns also make fine scratch-pads for musical ideas.

Selecting instrument sounds

Before you record a song, you should select the

Performance, Patch or Rhythm Set you wish to use for

recording.

When recording an ensemble song that will use two or more

Patches, select a Single Performance. Select a Layer

Performance, if you want to record a layered performance

that combines different Patches for thicker and richer tex-

tures or playing a split keyboard that plays separate Patches

in different keyboard areas.

Select a Patch if you want to use only one instrument.

Select a Rhythm Set if you want to use only percussion

instruments.

✳ If you use a Layer Performance while recording, the

recorded data will contain all data necessary to play

the Parts that are sounding. If each Part is receiving a

different MIDI channel, the recording will contain par-

allel streams of data that differ only in their MIDI

channels. This wastes valuable memory. To avoid this,

select the same Channel parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/

Part MIDI) for all Parts that are to be played simultane-

ously from the keyboard.

✳ You can also select a Patch on the Realtime Rec Stand-

by display (SEQ). In this case, the Bank Select number

and Program number of the Patch will be recorded at

the recording start position.

Erasing the song from internal memory

When you record a song, the data is stored in internal mem-

ory. If internal memory already contains a song when you

wish to record a new song, that song has to be erased to free

up internal memory with this procedure.

✳ If internal memory contains a song you wish to keep,

you must save that song to disk.

❶ Press [UTILITY].

❷ Press the numeric key [6], then [ENTER].

❸ Press [F6] (Execute) to erase the song from internal

memory.

Setting the time signature

When recording a new song, input the time signature into

the beginning of the Beat track. However, whenever power

is turned on or the internal memory is initialized, the time

signature will always got to its default setting of 4/4. If you

want to record a song in 4/4 time, you don’t have to deal

with the time signature.

✳ When changing time signatures in mid-song, refer to

“Changing the time signature during a song” (p.148).

✳ If the Pattern time is at a different setting from the

song time signature when recording in Patterns, or if

the song is set to a time signature other than 4/4 time,

you need to set the Pattern beat for time management

at the beginning of each Pattern (p.147). During record-

ing, the metronome will sound according to the

Pattern beat.

❶ Make sure that “00:InternalSong” is selected on the

Play display (SEQ(Song)).

❷ Press [F4] (Micro).

❸ Press [TEMPO/BEAT] to select the Beat track.

Each time this button is pressed, the selection will cycle

through the Tempo track, Beat track, and Phrase track, then

back to the Tempo track, and so on.

❹ Move the cursor to “Beat” and set the time signature.

❺ Press [TEMPO/BEAT] again to return to the Phrase

track.

❻ Press [EXIT] to return to the Play display (SEQ(Song)).
