Start Guide

wish to have playback of the Arpeggio (rhythm pattern)

continue regardless of whether you hold the note or not.

nCategories and Sub Categories can easily be selected by

calling up their respective lists on the display. When

moving the cursor, for example, to the Category and

pressing the [SF6] button, the Category List appears at

the cursor location. You can select the desired one by

using the data dial, [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons.

After selecting, pressing the [ENTER] button actually calls

up the selected Arpeggio type. This operation is very

useful and convenient in selecting from the huge variety of

available Arpeggios.

Go on and assign Arpeggio types in the same way to the

other [SF] buttons as desired. After setting the Arpeggio

related parameters, store the settings to internal memory

as a User Performance. For details, see page 142.

Using the Controllers and

Knobs

Like in the Voice mode, you can use the controllers and

knobs in the Performance mode. Try selecting different

Performances and using the controllers and knobs.

Recording your Performance

While experimenting and playing around with Arpeggios in

the Performance mode, you may ﬁnd some rhythm

patterns and phrases that you like, and you may want to

store them for future recall. The best and easiest way to

capture these is to record your keyboard playing to a Song

or Pattern.

Performance Record Structure

By using the Performance Record function, your keyboard

performance for Parts 1 – 4 will be recorded to tracks 1 – 4

of the Song/Pattern respectively. Controller/Knob

operations and Arpeggio playback as well as your

keyboard playing in the Performance mode can be

recorded to the speciﬁed track as MIDI events.

nFor details about the track structure of the Song/Pattern, see

“Basic Structure” on page 61.

Arpeggio playback to the Song

When the Song is selected as destination of the

Performance recording, you can record your keyboard

playing with the Arpeggio without having to worry about

measure limits or running out of recording space. It is a

good idea, for example, to record your keyboard playing,

freely calling up various Arpeggio types, then editing the

Song later as necessary. You may even want to ‘keep the

recorder running’ as you improvise, then listen back later

and pick out the best parts to create your ﬁnal Song.

Try recording as shown in the instructions below.

1In the Performance Play mode, select a

Performance for recording.

2Press the [I] (Record) button to call up the

Performance Record display.

3Set the following parameters as required in the

Performance Record display.

1 Sequencer Mode = “song”

By setting this parameter to “song,” you can record your

keyboard performance to the Song.

2 Song number

Select a destination song. Executing Performance recording

overwrites and erases all the previously recorded data of the

speciﬁed Song. Make sure to select a Song which contains no

data.

3 Time Signature = “4/4”

Set the same value here as that of the Arpeggio type.

Normally, set this to “4/4.”

4 Tempo

Set the desired tempo of the metronome and Arpeggio for

recording.
