    Next, let’s use the Pattern Copy function and record our User Phrases to Section B. 
    Copying Patterns and Creating a Pattern with User Phrases
    In the following steps, you’ll assign the same phrases as the drum and bass guitar parts of Section A to the drum and bass 
    parts of Section B, and create a guitar part playing the guitar and bass in unison.
    Copying a Pattern
    In order to assign the drum and bass phrases of section A 
    to section B, we’ll copy the performance of Section A to 
    section B. 
    Select “01: Copy Pattern” and press the [ENTER] button.
    Select the Pattern number you created earlier and Section 
    A for the source. Select the same Pattern number and 
    Section B for the destination. 
    Section B is selected. Press the [F] (Play) button to play 
    back and confirm the copied Pattern. 
    Creating a Pattern with User Phrases
    Have the guitar and bass play together by using the user 
    phrase of the bass recorded in Section A. 
    Set the Phrase Voice parameter in Track 3 (Guitar) to off. 
    You can use only MIDI sequence data in the User Phrase.
    nIf you leave the Phrase Voice setting at “on,” the Voice will change 
    when using the user phrase for the guitar part in step 8.
    Select the phrase number of Part 3 and set it to the same 
    phrase number of the bass phrase of Part 2.
    Adjust the octave and velocity of the guitar phrase as 
    desired from the [F2] NOTE screen of the Pattern Job 
    mode.
    The same User Phrases can be assigned to different Sections within a 
    pattern. Keep in mind, however, that the Section data will automatically 
    be changed if another Section sharing the same User Phrase is 
    changed.
    MIDI data recorded in the Pattern mode is stored as a User Phrase. You can store up to 256 User Phrases to a single Pattern.

    Next, record Section C by using realtime recording or step recording.
    Creating a Pattern with the Realtime and Step Recording methods
    For Section C, set the drums, bass and guitar to the same as section A, and then add a piano part using Realtime recording, 
    and enter a strings part by using Step recording. Here we’ll also adjust the rhythmic feel of the phrase by using the Groove 
    function. 
    Creating a Pattern with Realtime

    Press the [TRACK SELECT] button so that its lamp lights, 
    and select the track for the piano part by pressing the 
    Number [4] button.
    Set the parameters related to recording in the [F1] SETUP 
    display. 
    Set Type to “overdub” and Loop to “on.” These settings let 
    you repeat the Pattern recording in a “loop” and record 
    additional note events without deleting already-recorded 
    data. For the other parameters, see page 198. Press the [F] (Play) button to hear your newly recorded 
    Pattern.
    Copying a User Phrase from another Pattern to the current Pattern
    The User Phrases that can be assigned with the Patch function are limited to the ones contained in the currently 
    selected Pattern. To copy Phrases from other Patterns for use in the current one, follow the instructions below.
    1In the [F4] PATCH display, press the [SF5] COPY button to call up the Copy Phrase display.
    2First, specify the source Pattern number and Phrase number as well as the destination (current Pattern) 
    Phrase number and track number. Then, press the [ENTER] button to execute the Copy operation.
    3Press the [EXIT] button to return to the [F4] PATCH display, then check the assigned Phrase by pressing the 
    [F] (Play) button to play the Pattern.

    Creating a Pattern with Step recording
    Next, we’ll add a strings part by using the Step recording 
    method.
    Press the [TRACK SELECT] button so that its lamp lights, 
    and select the track for the strings part by pressing the 
    Number [5] button.
    For details about Step Recording, see page 193.
    Press the [F] (Play) button to hear your newly recorded 
    Pattern.
    The created Song and Pattern data resides temporarily in DRAM (page 
    150). Because data contained in DRAM is lost when the power is turned 
    off, you should always store any data residing in DRAM to a USB 
    storage device before turning off the power.
    Using the Groove function
    The Groove function makes it possible to adjust the pitch, timing, length, and velocity of notes in a specified track via a 
    1-measure 16th-note grid to create interesting, unique “grooves” that would not be possible with precise sequencer-like 
    programming.
    nThe Groove settings are applied to all measures of the current Pattern. Keep in mind that you cannot apply different Groove settings to each measure.
    nThe Grid Groove function affects Pattern playback without actually changing the MIDI sequence data (created via the Recording, File Loading, and 
    Patch functions). The Groove settings are handled separately from MIDI sequence data. See page 137. 
    6Select the track to which the strings part is to 
    be assigned. 
    7Press the [REC] button to enter the Pattern 
    Record mode.
    8Set the Type parameter to “step” in the [F1] 
    SETUP display.
    9Press the [F] (Play) button to start the 
    recording.
    10Press the [J] (Stop) button to stop the 
    recording.
    CAUTION
    Rehearsing parts before recording
    To temporarily disengage the record mode and enter 
    the “Rehearsal” mode, simply press the [REC] button 
    during realtime recording—the [REC] indicator will 
    flash and playback will continue uninterrupted but no 
    data will be recorded. This convenient Rehearsal 
    mode lets you easily and temporarily disable 
    recording, in order to practice a part or try out various 
    ideas (while listening to the other tracks) without 
    actually recording. To return to the record mode press 
    the [REC] button again—the [REC] indicator will light 
    continuously.
    Editing the recorded Pattern
    The Pattern Edit mode and Pattern Job mode can be 
    used to edit or change the data of the already 
    recorded Pattern.
    The Pattern Edit mode lets you change the recorded 
    data and insert new data if needed. This includes note 
    data as well as non-note data, such as program 
    (Voice) changes and MIDI control change messages.
    The Pattern Job mode on the other hand provides a 
    comprehensive variety of tools you can use to 
    transform the recorded data—such as cleaning up the 
    timing (Quantize), transposing, changing the velocity 
    of notes, modifying the length of notes, and other 
    useful operations for altering the sound. It also 
    includes a variety of convenient operations, such as 
    copying or erasing data. Most of these operations can 
    be performed on either an entire track or a selected 
    range of measures in the track.
    The procedure is basically the same as in the Song 
    mode. See page 90.

    Creating a Pattern
    84Owner’s Manual nYou can also edit the Groove parameters in real time during playback.
    The created Song and Pattern data resides temporarily in DRAM (page 150). Because data contained in DRAM is lost when the power is turned off, you 
    should always store any data residing in DRAM to a USB storage device before turning off the power.
    Creating a Pattern Chain
    Each Pattern consists of 16 Sections (A – P) which can be used as Pattern variations. Create the desired rhythm Pattern 
    variations, or Sections, that you wish to use as accompaniment and backing for your new Song, according to the instructions 
    in the previous sections. After you’ve created the Sections, you can string these Sections together in any order desired to 
    assemble the backing part of the Song, over which you can record a melody line and any other parts, in the Song Record 
    mode.
    nPattern Mixing, Groove, and Phrase Voice (Track Voice) on/off cannot be set independently for each Section, but apply to all Sections.
    The same User Phrases can be assigned to different Sections within a pattern. Keep in mind, however, that the Section data will automatically be 
    changed if another Section sharing the same User Phrase is changed. For example, if you’ve assigned a certain User Phrase to both Section A and 
    Section D, and you change that User Phrase for Section A, the same Phrase will be changed for Section D as well.
    3Select a track, then adjust the Groove settings.
    Using the Groove settings to change the Pattern data
    Grid Groove is a playback-only feature that processes the recorded data of a Pattern without actually changing it. In 
    other words, the original data (created via the Recording, File Loading and Patch functions) remains intact. If you want 
    to make the Grid Groove settings permanent and change the data, use Normalize Play Effect in the Pattern Jobs 
    ([PATTERN] → [JOB] → [F5] TRACK → 04: Normalize Play Effect). From this display, specify the track to be changed 
    according to the Groove settings, and press the [ENTER] button to execute.

    Creating a Pattern Chain by changing 
    a Section while playing a Pattern
    Switching of sections, track muting, scene/mute changes, 
    and tempo changes can all be recorded in real time as a 
    Pattern Chain.
    In the Pattern Chain Record Setup display, you can set the 
    Recording track and tempo. Three Pattern Chain track 
    types are available. The Tempo track lets you record tempo 
    changes for the Chain, and the Scene track lets you record 
    track on/off changes. The Pattern (“patt”) track lets you 
    record Section changes at the desired measure points in 
    the Song.Change the Section at the desired points, as the Pattern 
    plays.
    Operation returns to the Pattern Chain display.
    You can also record the Tempo track and Scene track as 
    desired. When the recording track is set to “tempo,” move 
    the cursor to tempo value (during recording in step 4 
    above) and use the data dial and the [INC/YES]/[DEC/NO] 
    buttons to change the tempo while the Chain is playing.
    When the recording track is set to “scene,” press the 
    [MUTE] button (the lamp lights) and use the Number 
    buttons [1] – [16] to turn each track on/off as desired 
    during recording.

    Song Scenes and Arpeggio types can both be registered to the [SF1] – [SF5] buttons (when the ARP1 – ARP5 menu items 
    are shown at the bottom of the display). These settings are stored as Song data. Song Scene is a powerful function that 
    allows you to store five different “snapshots” of important Song related parameters—including transpose, tempo, track mute 
    status, and the basic sound/mixing controls (all parameter settings controllable from the Knobs with the [PAN/SEND] or 
    [TONE] lamp turned on, and the Control sliders). You can call up both the Song Scene and Arpeggio type simultaneously by 
    simply pressing one of the [SF1] – [SF5] buttons (when ARP1 – ARP5 are shown at the bottom of the display in the Song 
    mode).

    simultaneously from the [SF1] – [SF5] buttons
    In the Song mode, you can register the Song 
    Scene and Arpeggio type simultaneously to the 
    [SF1] – [SF5] buttons only when the ARP1 – ARP5 
    menus appear at the bottom in the display.  Simultaneously hold the 
    [STORE] button and press 
    one of the [SF1] – [SF5] 
    buttons.

    ■ Recalling a Song Scene and Arpeggio type 
    during recording
    ARP1 – ARP5 menus appear also in the [F3] ARP display in 
    the Song Record mode as well as the [F1] PLAY display in 
    the Song Play mode. These indicate that you can change 
    the Song Scene and Arpeggio type simultaneously during 
    Song recording from the [F3] ARP display.
    ■ Recording Song Scene changes to a Song
    Each Song contains a Scene track to which you can record 
    Scene changes. When the RecTrack is set to “scene” in 
    step 4 described on page 88, you can record Scene 
    changes from any display (even from those in which ARP1 
    – ARP5 are not shown) by pressing the [SF1] – [SF5] 
    buttons during recording. 
    nThe explanations on Arpeggio here also apply to the Pattern mode.
    nAs in the Voice mode and Performance mode, Arpeggio types can 
    only be registered to the [SF1] – [SF5] buttons when the 
    [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button is turned off.
    nFor details on how to select an Arpeggio type in the Song mode/
    Pattern mode, see page 80. 
    Editing the recorded Song
    The Song Edit mode and Song Job mode can be used to 
    edit or change the data of the already recorded Song. 
    The Song Edit mode lets you change the recorded data 
    and insert new data if needed. This includes note data as 
    well as non-note data, such as program (Voice) changes 
    and MIDI control change messages. The Song Job mode 
    on the other hand provides a comprehensive variety of 
    tools you can use to transform the recorded data—such as 
    cleaning up the timing (Quantize), transposing, changing 
    the velocity of notes, modifying the length of notes, and 
    other useful operations for altering the sound. It also 
    includes a variety of convenient operations, such as 
    copying or erasing data. Most of these operations can be 
    performed on either an entire track or a selected range of 
    measures in the track.
    nThe explanations here also apply to the Pattern mode.
    ■ Editing the recorded Song data by MIDI event 
    (in the Song Edit mode)
    Select one of the three available track types by pressing 
    the [F4] TR SEL (Track Select) button. Each press of the
