The CURRENT display will show the pattern input

number (the order of playback).

If you have selected a new song and begun recording,

this will be Ò1.Ó

3. Use [INC] [DEC] or the [VALUE] dial to select

the pattern that will be registered first.

4. Press [ENTER].

The pattern input number will advance by one.

5. Select the pattern that will be registered

next.

After making your selection, press [ENTER].

6. Repeat step 3, 4 to complete the song.

When you have finalized the last pattern, press [STOP]

to end recording.

If you input a pattern by mistake, hold down [SHIFT]

Re-recording from the middle

If you are re-recording a song from the middle, or when

you wish to add a new pattern to the end of a song, use

[FWD] to advance to the location (pattern input num-

ber) where you wish to begin recording. Then you can

enter recording mode to re-record from that location.

Auditioning a pattern

After selecting a pattern during recording, you can

press [PLAY] to audition that pattern. As in Pattern

mode, you can select different patterns while you

audition them. When you are finished auditioning,

press [STOP].

Assigning a pattern with modified Setup

parameters

While auditioning a pattern, you can modify the mute,

part mixer and effect settings, etc. for that part and

press [ENTER] to assign the part with those settings.

This will not affect the original pattern in any way,

since the setup parameters for each pattern are stored

as part of the song data.

Using this function, you can modify the mute settings

or EFX type of one single pattern and create a song

just by developing the same pattern in different ways.

Saving a Song That You

Recorded (Song Write)

If you are happy with the song that you recorded, you

can save that song as a user song.

1. Make sure that the song is stopped.

2. Press [PTN/SONG] to access the song select

page.

If you modify song settings, an Ò*Ó (asterisk) will

appear at the left of the number, indicating that the

selected song has been modified (edited). Be aware

that if you turn off the power without saving the mod-

ified song, the previous settings will reappear.

3. Press [WRITE].

The following display will appear, and a Ò_Ó (cursor)

will appear below the number.

fig.12-7

If you do not wish to modify the number or name, you

can skip steps 4Ð8.

If you decide not to save the song, press [EXIT].
