Realtime Recording

On the Rhythm Edit screen, use the CURSOR buttons to move the 1

onscreen cursor under [REAL], and then press ENTER. The Recording

Standby screen appears, the REC button flashes, and the metronome

starts playing. (If you can’t hear the metronome, make sure the

RHYTHM fader is turned up.)

The “ding” of the metronome indicates the first beat of each measure,

while the “clicks” indicate all other beats.

Use the CURSOR buttons and the TIME/VALUE dial to make settings

for pattern recording.

Measures

Time signature

Tempo

Quantize

Measures—• This setting determines the number of measures in

your pattern. Patterns can be anywhere from 1-999 measures

in length.

Tempo—

• Set the tempo to any speed that’s most comfortable for

you to record your pattern.

You can also set the tempo by tapping the TAP TEMPO button.

Time signature—• The time signature determines how many

beats are in each measure, and the note value of each beat.

The default is 4/4, but there are many other time signatures

available.

Quantize—

• While you’re recording your pattern, the drum

sounds you play are automatically adjusted to the nearest note

value indicated by the quantize setting. This ensures that your

pattern’s drum sounds will play in time, even if you strike the

pads a little off-time. The default quantize setting is a sixteenth

note, but you can adjust it to arrive at the most appropriate

setting for recording your pattern.

Press the REC button. After a one-measure count-in, recording starts.

During recording, the pattern loops continuously over its length (per

the measures value set in Step 2).

Now, play the drum pads to record drum sounds in the pattern.

During recording, you may want to access the following functions:

Erasing drum sounds—

• If you wish to erase a drum sound that

you’ve recorded, press and hold the DELETE/MUTE button, and

then press the desired drum pad (or pads). The corresponding

drum sounds are erased for as long as the drum pad is pressed.

Tempo—• If the tempo is too fast or too slow, you can adjust it at

any time during recording.

Quantize—

• You can also adjust quantize settings at any time

during recording.

Metronome level—

• You can adjust the metronome’s level in

relation to the drum sounds in the pattern. Repeatedly press the

4 CURSOR button to place the onscreen cursor under the “Click”

value, and then use TIME/VALUE to adjust the level to the desired

setting: 0-3. (Setting the level to 0 silences the metronome.)

After you’re done recording all the sounds you want in your pattern,

press STOP.

Step Recording

Choose a pattern for recording using the procedures described in 1

“Selecting a Song Pattern for Recording.”

On the Rhythm Edit screen, use the CURSOR buttons to move the

onscreen cursor under [STEP], and then press ENTER. The Recording

Standby screen appears.

As described in Step 2 of “Realtime Recording,” make the desired

measure, tempo, and time signature settings. (Don’t worry about the

quantize setting for now; we’ll adjust it in a minute.)
