Pattern mode

■ Creating Patterns—basic procedure

Patterns consist of the following three types of data:

• MIDI sequence data (created in the Pattern Record mode, Pattern Edit mode, and Pattern Job mode)

• Setup data (created in the Pattern Play mode)

• Mixing data (created in the Pattern Mixing mode/Mixing Edit mode and stored in the Pattern Mixing Store mode)

After creating the data in these modes described above, store the Mixing settings in the Pattern Mixing Store mode to archive it as Pattern

data and save the entire Pattern to the USB storage device in the File mode.

n Non-note MIDI events (such as Voice number, volume, pan, and effect send level) which are necessary at the start of a Pattern are not recorded as MIDI sequence data, but are stored instead as Mixing data.

Because Pattern data (MIDI sequence data, Setup data, and Mixing data) is recorded to DRAM (page 150), it will be lost when turning the power off. Make sure to save any Pattern data created via the Record, Edit, Job, and Mixing setting to the USB storage device in the File mode before turning the power off. For details on saving Pattern data, see page 98.

Pattern Play mode

[PATTERN] ➞ Pattern selection

[F1] PLAY

Trans (Transpose) Determines the key transpose setting for the Pattern, and can be adjusted in semitones.

Settings: -36 – +36

n If the Pattern includes a track that you do not want to transpose, set the Not Shift parameter for each Part ([PATTERN] →

[MIXING] → [EDIT] → Part selection → [F4] TONE → [SF1] TUNE → NoteShift).

MEAS (Measure) Indicates the current measure number and beat for the current Pattern. During playback, this indication

changes automatically according to the Pattern playback. You can input the desired measure number directly by using the Number Input window called up via the [INFORMATION] button.

[SF1] ARP1 (Arpeggio 1) – [SF5] ARP5 (Arpeggio 5)

You can register the desired Arpeggio types to these buttons and call them up any time during your keyboard performance.

[F2] GROOVE (Grid Groove)

Same as in the Song Play mode. See page 178.

[F3] TRACK

[SF1] CHANNEL Same as in the Song Play mode. See page 178.

[SF2] OUT SW (Output Switch) Same as in the Song Play mode. See page 179.

[SF3] TR VCE (Track Voice) Determines whether the program change data contained in the phrase data is effective or not. For most

purposes, this should be set to “off.” For example, if a phrase has embedded Voice changes (program change messages) but you don’t want the Voice to change in the middle of the phrase, set this to “off.” Tracks that are set to “off” here automatically play back with the Voice number assigned to the Part set in the Mixing mode. n The Phrase Voice embedded in the Phrase can be specified from the Voice display in the Pattern Record mode (page

198).

[F4] PATCH Refer to page 78 in the Quick Guide section.

From this display, you can assign a Preset phrase or a User phrase (recorded in the Pattern Record mode) to each track and create a Pattern that contains up to 16 tracks.

n The Patch function allows you to use only User phrases recorded to a track of the currently selected Pattern. If you wish to use User phrases recorded to tracks of other Patterns, use the Phrase Data Copy function, selected with [SF5] button.

Section Shows the current edited section. For details about how to change sections, see page 75.

Meas Shows Measure: Beat for current playback location.

[SF4] CLEAR This clears the Phrase assignment to the currently selected track and leaves the track empty.

[SF5] COPY The User phrases that can be assigned with the

Patch function are limited to the ones contained in the currently selected Pattern. This function lets you copy phrases in another Pattern to the selected one. Press the [SF5] button to call up the display shown at left. After setting the parameters as needed, press the [ENTER] button to copy the phrase data.

The copy operation overwrites any data

[F5] REMIX

This function gives you a variety of semi-random presets for dividing the MIDI sequence data and altering the note lengths, letting you create completely new variations of a Pattern.

Set the parameters below, then press the [ENTER] button to execute the Remix operation. You can press the Play button at this point to hear the results of the Remix. If you’re not satisfied with the results, try another Type/Variation and press [ENTER]. If you want to keep the changes, press [SF5] OK. (Undo cannot be used with Remix.) To return to the original display without altering the data, press the [SF4] CANCEL button.

n Since the remixed data is stored as a new phrase and assigned to the current track, the original phrase data remains as an unassigned phrase.

Type Determines how the data in a measure will be divided and rearranged. The division and rearrangement rules are different for each remix type. The type is also shown graphically in the display.

Settings: 1 – 16

Variation Determines how the original MIDI sequence data will be modified.

Settings: Normal 1 – 16, Roll 1 – 16, Break 1 – 16, Fill 1 – 48

Normal 1 –1 6 ... The original data is only divided and rearranged. 16 variations are provided.

Roll 1 – 16... In addition to division and rearrangement, some portions of the data may be played with a roll effect. 16 variations are provided.

Break 1 – 16 ... In addition to division and rearrangement, some portions of the data may be deleted to create breaks. 16 variations are provided.

Fill 1 – 48 ... In addition to division and rearrangement, some portions of the data may be played with a roll effect. 48 variations are provided.

Interval Determines the measure(s) to which Remix is applied.

Settings: 1 – 8

For example, when set to "1," Remix is applied to all measures. When set to "2," Remix is applied to measures 2, 4, 6, etc. (every other measure). When set to "3," Remix is applied to measures 3, 6, 9, etc. (every third measure).

[F6] CHAIN Refer to page 84 in the Quick Guide section.

Pattern Chain Play mode [PATTERN] ➞ [F6]

This mode lets you play the programmed section chain sequence created in the Pattern Record mode and Pattern Edit mode. The parameters are the same as in the [F1] PLAY display.

Pattern Chain Record mode [PATTERN] ➞ [F6] ➞ [REC]

Recording Standby mode

You can select one of the following tracks for recording.

• patt (Pattern): Records section changes during playback

• tempo: Records tempo change information during playback

• scene: Records track mute settings during playback

During Recording [PATTERN] ➞ [F6] ➞ [REC] ➞ [F] (Play)

When recording the tempo track, you can change the tempo value. When recording the scene track, you can change the track mute setting. When recording the Pattern track, you can change the section.

Pattern Chain Edit mode [PATTERN] ➞ [F6] ➞ [EDIT]

[F1] CHANGE The Pattern Chain Edit mode makes it possible to edit the order of the sections in a chain, as well as insert

tempo, and scene/mute event data.

Call up the desired track display by pressing the [F4] TR SEL button to edit the selected track.

Pattern Track Edit From this display, you can edit the section changes for each measure. Move the cursor to the “Section” column

for the desired measure, and enter the desired section. To set the end of the chain, enter an END mark at the appropriate measure.

To clear the event at the currently selected location, press the [F6] CLEAR button.

Scene Track Edit You can edit the track mute change in beats. Use the [F5] INSERT and [F6] DELETE button to insert/delete the

event.

Tempo Track Edit You can edit the tempo change in beats. Use the [F5] INSERT and [F6] DELETE button to insert/delete the

event.

[F2] COPY This display lets you copy all Pattern chain events

from a specified range of measures (source) to a destination location.

After specifying the source range in measures, the top measure of the destination location, and NumberOfTimes (number of times the data is copied), press the [ENTER] button to execute the Copy operation.

This operation overwrites any events already existing at the destination. Recording track
