Using the Pattern Sequencer E-99 ■Replacing the Accompaniment Patterns of an Existing Rhythm with New Recordings With this procedure, you re-record one or more of the accompaniment patterns of an existing preset rhythm or previously stored user rhythm to create a new rhythm. In this case, you clear all of the rec areas included in an accompaniment pattern and then create new recordings of each part of the accompaniment pattern. Use this method, for example, when you want to create only a new INTRO accompaniment pattern for an existing rhythm. The following is the general flow for this method. For full details about this procedure, see “To create a new accompaniment pattern” (page E-104). ■Newly Recording All Accompaniment Patterns of a Rhythm With this procedure, you create a new rhythm from scratch, without using an existing rhythm. The following is the general flow for this method. For full details about this procedure, see “To create a new rhythm from scratch” (page E-106). 1.Select the rhythm you want to edit in order to create your user rhythm. 2.Press the C-4 (PATTERN SEQUENCER) button. This displays the pattern sequencer screen. Clear all of the rec areas of the accompaniment pattern you want to record anew. Use the rec menu to configure settings related to accompaniment pattern recording. On the edit menu, configure accompaniment pattern number of measure and beat settings. Sequentially record each of the parts. After editing is complete, store the entire rhythm as a user rhythm. Clear all of the rec areas included in the currently selected rhythm. Use the rec menu to configure settings related to accompaniment pattern recording. On the edit menu, configure accompaniment pattern number of measure and beat settings. Sequentially record each of the parts of each accompaniment pattern. After editing is complete, store the rhythm as a user rhythm.

Using the Pattern Sequencer E-100 3.Use buttons L-13 (INTRO) through L-16 (SYNCHRO/ENDING) to select the accompaniment pattern you want to play. If you want to play the INTRO accompaniment pattern, for example, press the L-13 (INTRO) button. Each press of the L-14 (NORMAL/FILL-IN) button toggles between NORMAL and NORMAL FILL-IN, and each press of the L-15 (VARIATION/FILL-IN) button toggles between VARIATION and VARIATION FILL-IN. The indicator for the currently selected accompaniment pattern will flash on the display. 4.Press the L-17 (START/STOP) button. The specified accompaniment pattern plays back in a loop. To sound bass and chord notes, play a chord on the chord keyboard. Each press of the L-17 (START/STOP) button during the following operation starts or stops playback. 5.If you want to hear the notes of a particular instrument part played alone, perform the following steps. 6.Repeat steps 3 through 5 as required to determine which accompaniment patterns you want to edit and which parts you want to re-record. If you want to proceed directly into the editing operation from this point, perform the procedure under “To edit an existing rhythm” (page E-102). If you do, you can either allow the accompaniment pattern to continue to play, or you can stop playback by pressing the L-17 (START/ STOP) button. 7.To exit this procedure without going directly into the editing operation, press the C-4 (PATTERN SEQUENCER) button. If the accompaniment pattern is playing when you press the C-4 (PATTERN SEQUENCER) button, playback will stop, the display will exit the pattern sequencer screen, and the screen that was displayed in step 1 of this procedure will appear.

Using the Pattern Sequencer E-108 6.Use the R-17 (u, i) buttons to select the instrument part you want to edit. 7.Edit the selected accompaniment pattern instrument part as desired. While performing the procedure below, you can press the L-17 (START/STOP) button and perform repeat playback of only the accompaniment pattern you are editing. Each press of the L-17 (START/STOP) button starts or stops playback. Performing rhythm assignment in step (1) above also will automatically change mixer settings to the initial defaults for the assigned rhythm. Because of this, changing the rhythm after configuring mixer settings in step (2) will cause the configured mixer settings to be cleared. When INTRO or ENDING is selected as the accompaniment pattern, the same rhythm is assigned to all eight instrument parts. Because of this, performing rhythm assignment in step (1) for an INTRO or ENDING will change the rhythm of all instrument parts at one time. 8.Repeat steps 5 through 7 to edit other accompaniment patterns and instrument parts. 9.After editing is complete, adjust the tempo of the rhythm as desired. The tempo you set here becomes the initial default tempo. 10.For details about how to save the final version of the rhythm as a user rhythm, see “To store an edited or newly created rhythm” (page E-106). The pattern sequencer records the keyboard, pitch bender, and modulation operations recorded for each instrument part as “events”. Playing a note on the keyboard, for example, stores the following as events: note start measure, beat, and tick, note pitch, note length, and note intensity. The following editing operations are supported for individual events. Deleting events Inserting events Copying events within a specific range to a desired location Quantizing * note events Deleting pitch bender events Adjusting note event velocity values Adjusting note event gate time values Selecting the type of events that appear on the Event Editor screen (View Select) Directly inputting note events (step input) *Quantize is an operation that automatically adjusts the note on timing of a note event to match a reference note. You can perform event editing on an instrument part whose status (page E-98) is “Recorded Data” or “Empty”. You cannot configure part parameters for an instrument part whose status is “Fix Data”. Though you cannot perform event editing directly on an instrument part whose status is “Fix Data”, you can copy such an instrument part to a rec area and edit the copied data. For details about the copy operation, see “To copy preset or user rhythm instrument part data to a rec area” (page E-114). (1) While [RHYTHM] is displayed on the EASY EDIT screen, specify the number of the rhythm you want to assign to the instrument part of the selected accompaniment pattern. Settings are configured using the same procedures as those for rhythm selection. Perform steps 1, 2, and 3 under “Playing an Auto Accompaniment” (page E-26). Specifying rhythm number F:101 at this time makes it possible to assign the rhythm data currently being edited with the pattern sequencer. (2) Configure the mixer settings of the selected accompaniment pattern instrument part as desired. For details about mixer setting operations, see step 5 under “To edit an existing rhythm” (page E-102). Editing Individual Events (Event Editor)
