IMPORTANT: With Rt ReC set to on, when you start recording your live
beat arrangement, any existing steps in the play list will be overwritten! If
you’re not creating a play list by recording your live beat arrangement, it’s
better to keep this set to
off in order to avoid accidentally erasing your play
list steps by unintentionally entering Record mode.
5. Press the beat pad that you want your play list to start with.
6. Press the
ReCoRd button to turn Record mode on.
7. Press
Play to start recording your live beat arrangement into the play list.
The selected beat will automatically be entered into step 1 of the play list.
8. When you want to hear a different beat, press a new beat pad. Notice that
the previous step’s
BaRS duration is now set to the number of bars that the
previous beat played, and the next step’s Beat eld has been lled with the
new beat you just selected.
The new beat will start playing at the next Beat Quantize boundary. When
recording live beat arrangements into play lists, if Beat Quantize is set to anything
shorter than Bar, it is internally forced to Bar. This is because the play lists can
change between beats only at bar boundaries.
Repeat step 8 for each additional beat change that you want your play list to
contain.
During the last bar of your beat arrangement, do one of the following:
• Press S
toP, then press ReCoRd to turn Record mode off. Press Play and your
newly created play list will start playing from the beginning.
• Press
ReCoRd to turn Record mode off. At the next Bar boundary, your
newly recorded play list will loop back to step 1.
