Creating bass patterns using
real-time recording
When a MIDI keyboard is connected to the MIDI IN
port, you will be able to use this keyboard to perform
real-time recording. Note that there is no need to set a
MIDI channel for the MIDI keyboard in such a case (p.
254).
1. After carrying out the steps described in “Preparing for
recording,” press [F2] (REC).
The Pattern Recording Selection screen will appear.
The Real-Time Recording standby screen will appear
and the metronome will start.

2. Press [F2] (REALTIME).
The Real-Time Recording standby screen will appear
and the metronome will start.

3. Move the cursor to “BPM” and select a suitable tempo
for recording using the TIME/VALUE dial.
fig.20-052ad
Note that this only sets the tempo for recording—the
bass pattern is not recorded at this tempo. (It is not
possible to set a specific tempo for a bass pattern.)
If you tap your finger on [TAP] four or more times, the
tempo will be set accordingly.
4. Move the cursor to “METRO” and set the metronome
level using the TIME/VALUE dial.
5. Press [PLAY].
Real-time recording will start after a one-measure countdown.

6. Use the track buttons to play the desired bass pattern
and use the track fader 1 to set the velocity (dynamics)
of the sounds.
The relationship between track buttons and bass notes is
as follows.
Note also that you can use [ ] and [ ] from
CURSOR to shift up or down by one octave accordingly.
Multiple bass notes cannot be played simultaneously.
If a bass note is recorded at the same time position as a
previously recorded note, priority will be given to the
newer note and only this will be retained (in other
words, the previously-recorded note will be deleted).
Note that a short delay may occur between deletion of
the older note and playback of the following notes. This
may make it difficult to record your pattern, and
therefore, care should be taken to ensure that you do not
duplicate performance data in this way.
7. If you want to erase an error in the recorded pattern,
press [F3] (ERASE).
The message “ERASE:ON” will appear and bass erase
mode will be activated. In this mode, hold down the
track button corresponding to the bass note you want to
erase. Any of these bass notes played in the pattern
while you are pressing the track button will be erased.
When you have finished erasing bass sounds, press [F3]
(ERASE) once again.
8. Press [STOP] at the point where you want to stop
recording.
The Pattern Recording Selection screen will appear once
again.
