Creating songs (Sequencer mode)

“Track Name,” select MIDI track 1 (T01) to which you
assigned a drum program.
2. For each RPPR pattern, set “Sync” to SEQ (See the
diagram above).
With a setting of SEQ, patterns played by the RPPR
function while the sequencer is playing or recording will
start in synchronization with the measures of the
sequencer.
3. Select the P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track Prog
Select/Mixer page.
4. Check the “RPPR” check box, and set “Track Select”
to MIDI Track 02.
When the RPPR function is on, pressing a key to which a
pattern is assigned will cause the assigned pattern to start
playing, regardless of the track that’s selected in “Track
Select.”
Keys to which patterns are not assigned can be played in
the usual way. You can play the program that’s assigned
to the MIDI track you select here.
5. Since you want the tracks you play via RPPR and the
track you play from the keyboard to be recorded at
the same time, check the Multi REC check box.
Note: If Recording Setup is set to “Loop All Tracks,” it
will not be possible to select Multi REC. Set the
Recording Setup to Overwrite.
6. Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch to enter
record-ready mode.
7. For the tracks you will be recording (MIDI Track 1,
2), press Play/Rec/Mute to make them indicate REC.
Make sure that the tracks you’re not recording are
indicated as Play or Mute.
8. Press the LOCATE switch to set the location to
001:01.000.
9. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch, and
then press a key that plays an RPPR pattern.
If, during the pre-count before recording, you press a key
that’s assigned to an RPPR pattern, the pattern will begin
playing (and being recorded) the moment that recording
begins.
Record the RPPR pattern playback and keyboard
performance.
When recording the playback of patterns triggered by
RPPR, the timing of the recorded events may be slightly
skewed. If this occurs, try setting “REC Resolution” to a
setting other than Hi.
10.When you are finished performing, press the
SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
Recording will end, and the sequencer will return to the
location at which recording began.
If you made a mistake during your performance or would
like to re-record, you can use the Compare function
(press the COMPARE switch) to re-record as many times
as you wish.
11.If you want to record other tracks, un-check the Multi
REC (See step 5) or “RPPR” (See step 4) check boxes
as necessary.
