Recording with the 1st part and 2nd part
1. Start by clearing the position.
“Selecting a position and clearing it”
2. Set the mode switch to “PATTERN WRITE 1st PART.”
3. Press the [START/STOP] button.
4. Set the [PRE-SCALE] switch to the desired position, and press the [CLEAR] button.
5. Set the mode switch to “PATTERN WRITE 2nd PART.”
6. Hold down the [CLEAR] button and press a STEP NO [1]–[16] button to specify the number of steps (the steps that follow from the 1st part).
At this time, the flow of the steps indicated by the LEDs changes, flowing from step 1 of the 1st part to the specified number of steps of the 2nd part.
7. Set the mode switch to “PATTERN WRITE 1st PART.”
8. Use the select switch to select an instrument.
9. Use the STEP NO [1]–[16] buttons to specify the steps at which you want a note to play.
10. Set the mode switch to “PATTERN WRITE 2nd PART.”
11. Use the STEP NO [1]–[16] buttons to specify the subsequent steps.
12. To write the steps for another instrument or for the accent, repeat steps 7–11.
The steps flow repeatedly between the 1st part <--> 2nd part. If the mode switch is set to 1st part, only the 1st part can be written. In the same way if the mode switch is set to 2nd part, only the 2nd part can be written.
13. When you’ve finished writing each instrument, press the [START/STOP] button.
Using the 2nd part
The Clear operation clears both the 1st part and the 2nd part (at this time, the 1st part is set to 16 steps and the 2nd part is set to 0 steps).
In order to use the 2nd part, you must specify the number of steps. The number of steps can be freely distributed to the 1st part and the 2nd part.
* The 1st part and 2nd part together make up one pattern. You can’t use just the 2nd part by itself.
* For the 2nd part as well, variations A and B within the same basic rhythm (or intro/fill-in) have the same
number of steps.
* By holding down the [CLEAR] button and pressing the [TAP] button, you can set the number of steps for the
2nd part to 0.
