● Pattern Chain

Pattern Chain allows you to string several different Sections

(within a single Pattern) together to make a single Song. You

can have the synthesizer automatically change Sections by

creating Pattern Chains in this way beforehand.

You can create the Pattern Chain by recording a Pattern

playback with Section changes from the [PATTERN] → [F6]

CHAIN display or by editing the timing of Section changes

from the [PATTERN] → [F6] CHAIN → [EDIT] display. The

created Pattern Chain can be played back when calling up

the [PATTERN] → [F6] CHAIN display.

You can also use them when creating Songs based on a

certain Pattern, since the created Pattern Chain can be

converted into a Song from the [PATTERN] → [F6] CHAIN →

[EDIT] → [F3] SONG display. This synthesizer lets you create

one Pattern Chain for each Pattern.

■ MIDI tracks and Sample tracks

The Song/Pattern tracks (1 - 16) of this synthesizer are

divided into two groups: MIDI tracks and Sample tracks.

MIDI tracks are created by recording your keyboard

performance in the Song Record mode/Pattern Record mode.

On the other hand, Sample tracks are created by recording

and obtaining a Sample in the Sampling mode.

● Sample tracks — with Sample Voices

Voices which are automatically created and stored using the

Sampling feature in the sequencer (Song/Pattern) mode, are

referred to as “Sample Voices.” Tracks using these Sample

Voices are referred to as “Sample” tracks — to distinguish

them from the MIDI tracks. Sample Voices are stored as

original, dedicated Voices for each Song or Pattern. If you

wish to use a Sample Voice of a certain song/pattern for

another song/pattern, execute the copy operation in the Song

Job mode (page 226) or in the Pattern Job mode (page 244).

■ MIDI track recording method

The following explanations are important points for you to

keep in mind as you record your User Songs/Patterns. The

recording methods explained here should be set from the

Setup display in the Song Record mode/Pattern Record mode

before recording.

nSee page 173 for details about the Sample track recording method.

● Realtime recording and Step recording

Realtime recording

With realtime recording, the instrument functions in the same

way as a tape recorder, recording the performance data as it

is played. This allows you to capture all the nuances of an

actual performance. This method is used for the Recording

types explained below, such as Replace, Overdub, Loop, and

Punch In/Out.

Step recording (Type = step)

With step recording, you can compose your performance by

“writing” it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime,

step recording method — similar to writing music notation

onto paper.

● Replace and Overdub (Song/Pattern)

Replace

You can use this method when you want to overwrite an

already recorded track with new data. The ﬁrst recording is

lost, and the new one takes its place.

Overdub

You can use this method when you want to add more data to a

track that already contains data. The ﬁrst recording is kept,

and the new one is added. This method lets you build up a

complex phrase together with Loop recording (below).

● Loop Recording (Pattern)

Pattern repeats the rhythm pattern of several measures (1 to

256 measures) in a “loop,” and its recording is also done

using loops. This method is used when recording a Pattern

Phrase using the Overdub method (above). As shown in the

example below, notes that you record will play back from the

next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing

previously recorded material.

When recording a rhythm of Bass Drum, Snare Drum,

Hi-Hat cymbal in order:

nLoop Recording can only be used with Realtime recording.
