Recording your performance in real time (Real-time input)
Here’s how to record your playing on the sample pads, the keyboard buttons and from an external MIDI device.
- Press the [ó] button.
- Press the [ø] button.
- Recording starts.
- Press sample pads or the [GRANULAR] pad, and start playing some notes.
- The timing of the notes and sounds you play on sample pads or the [GRANULAR] pad are recorded in the pattern.
MEMO
- You can also record your playing in time with the metronome.
- Refer to the “Metronome” parameter for how to make the metronome play.
- When the [KYBD] button is on, the step buttons function as keyboard buttons.
- You can use the keyboard buttons to play the sample you’ve selected using the sample pads or the [GRANULAR] pad, as notes in a scale.
- Further, you can record this using real-time input.
- You can record what you play via real-time input from a external MIDI keyboard that’s connected to this unit.
- If you press the [ó] (QUANTIZE) button while holding down the [SHIFT] button, you can do real-time input while the data is being quantized (REC quantize).
- The display indicates “On”.
- When doing this, the timing of the notes you input in real time is aligned to the steps as you’re recording (the micro-timings of the notes are recorded as “0”).
- To turn REC quantize off, press the [ó] (QUANTIZE) button again while holding down the [SHIFT] button.
- The display indicates “OFF”.
- When you turn the [PITCH], [START], [END] or [LEVEL] knobs while recording, the motion of the knobs is also recorded.
- If a pattern is playing, you can make the recorded knob motions play back.
- Refer to “Recording the knob motions” for details.
- To finish recording, press the [ó] button.
- This ends the pattern recording.
MEMO
- You can restore the pattern settings to how they were before they were edited.
Refer to “Restoring the current pattern settings to their original state” for details. - You can restore only the pattern sequence data to how it was before editing.
Refer to “Restoring the sequence data of the current pattern” for details.
