Style/Pad Record mode

Style/Pad Record procedure

There are two different methods for recording a Style/Pad: Real-

time and Step.

• Realtime Recording allows you to record Style/Pad patterns

in realtime.

• Step Recording allows you to create a new Style/Pad by

entering single notes or chords in each track. This is very

useful when transcribing an existing score, or needing a

higher grade of detail, and is particularly suitable to create

drum and percussion tracks.

In addition, you can program a Style/Pad on a personal com-

puter, and then import it via the Import function (see “Import:

Import SMF” on page 157).

Preparing to record

1. If you like to edit an existing Style/Pad, select it.

2. Press the RECORD button to enter the Style/Pad Record

mode. You are prompted to either select the Current Style

or an existing Pad, or create a New Style or Pad.

Select “Record/Edit Current Style” or “Record/Edit Current

Pad” if you want to edit the current Style/Pad, or make a

new Style/Pad starting from an existing one. Select “Record

New Style/Pad” if you want to start from scratch with an

empty Style/Pad.

3. After you select your preferred option, the main page of the

Style/Pad Record mode will appear.

4. Use the Element (Style Element) (Style only) and Chord Var

(Chord Variation) parameters, to select the Chord Varia-

tion to be recorded/edited.

Note: For more information on the Style Elements and Chord

Variations, and the Style/Pad structure in general, see “The

Style’s structure” on page 130 or “The Pad’s structure” on

page 131.

5. Use the Rec Length (Recording Length) parameter to set

the length (in measures) of the pattern to record.

6. Use the Meter parameter to set the Style Element’s or Pad’s

meter (time signature).

Note: You can edit this parameter only if you selected the

“Record New Style/Pad” option when entering the Record

mode, or when editing an empty Style Element.

7. Select the Tempo parameter and set the Tempo.

8. (Style only) Touch the Record 2 tab to see the Sounds area.

Here you can assign the right Sound to each Style track.

(Pad only) Press the SOUND button to select a Sound to be

assigned to the Pad track.

9. If needed, set the Octave Transpose for each track. Note:

The Octave Transpose will affect only the notes coming from

the keyboard, and not from the arranger.

10. At this point, if you want to do a Realtime Recording go on

reading “Realtime Record procedure” below. Otherwise, if

you prefer to do a Step Record, jump to “Step Record pro-

cedure” on page 143.

Realtime Record procedure

1. Select the track to record. Its status icon will turn to

‘Record’. (For more details, see “Tracks volume/status area”

on page 137).

Note: When entering the Record mode, a track is already

in Record status. When you press START/STOP after

entering the Record mode, you can immediately start

recording.

If you like, you can try your part before recording:

•Mute the track, by repeatedly touching its icon status,

until the (Mute) status icon appears.

• Press START/STOP to let any recorded track play back,

and practice on the keyboard.

• When you have finished practicing, press START/STOP

to stop the arranger, and unmute the track by repeatedly

touching its icon status, until the (Record) status icon

appears again.

2. While the shown status icon is Record, press START/STOP

to begin recording. A 1-bar precount will play before the

recording actually begins. When it begins, play freely. The

pattern will last for some measures, according to the Rec

Length value, then restart.

Since the recording will happen in overdub, you can add

notes on any following passage. This is very useful to

record different percussive instruments at any cycle on a

Drum or Percussion track.

Note: While recording, the track’s Keyboard Range (see

page 154) is ignored, and notes can be recorded and played

back over the whole keyboard range. The Local parameter

(see “Local Control On” on page 259) is also automatically

set to On, to allow playing on the keyboard.

3. When finished recording, press START/STOP to stop the

arranger. Select a different track, and go on recording the

full Chord Variation.

Note: You can select a different track only when the arranger

is not running.

4. When finished recording the Chord Variation, select a dif-

ferent Chord Variation or Style Element (Style only) to go

on recording the full Style/Pad.

5. When finished recording the new Style/Pad, select the

“Write Style/Pad” command from the page menu, to open

the Write Style/Pad dialog box (see “Write Style/Pad dialog

box” on page 162) and save it to memory.

To exit the Style/Pad Record mode without saving any

change, select the “Exit from Record” command from the

page menu, or press the RECORD button.
