Creating songs (SEQUENCER mode)

An example of realtime recording
In this example, we’ll assign a drum program to MIDI Track
01 and create the following one-measure drum phrase.
1. Create a new song, and specify a drum program for
MIDI Track 01. Use “Track Select” to select MIDI
Track 01, and verify that you hear a drum program.
2. Go to the Home– Recording Setup page. In Recording
Setup, specify “Loop All Tracks” and set it to M001-
M001.
For more information, see “Loop All Tracks” on page 81.
With this setting, measure 1 will be recorded repeatedly.
The newly recorded data will be added at each pass.
3. Set “REC Resolution” to .
4. Press the SEQUENCER REC button, and then the
SEQUENCER START/STOP button.
The metronome will sound a two-measure count-down,
and then recording will begin.
5. As shown in the musical example printed above, start
by playing the C3 note of the keyboard to record the
bass drum for one measure.
6. Next, play the E3 note of the keyboard to record the
snare for one measure, and then the F#3 note to
record the hi-hat.
7. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP button to stop
recording.
8. Play back the result, and listen to the drum
performance you recorded.
Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP button. When
you’ve finished listening, press the SEQUENCER
START/STOP button once again to stop playback.
9. If you’re not satisfied with the result, execute the
Compare command to return to the state prior to
recording, and then re-record from step 4.
Note: When you’re finished recording, change the
Recording Setup back to the normally-used Overwrite
(Home– Recording Setup page).
In addition, access the Home– MIDI Track Loop page,
check “Track Play Loop” for MIDI Track 01, and set the
“Loop Start Measure” and “Loop End Measure” to 001.
When you play back, MIDI track 01 will repeatedly play
the first measure.
