the nearest value specified in the Timing Correct screen (in this

case, 1/16-note).

5. Without stopping the sequence, record a 1/16-note hi-hat part by

simultaneously holding the TIMING CORRECT key and the

HIHAT CLOSED pad, varying the pressure on the pad as the

sequence plays. After four bars, release both the key and the pad.

Notice that closed hi-hats have now been recorded on all 1/16-

notes. This feature is called note repeat and is described further

in the “Timing Correct” section, later in this chapter. If at any

time you want to erase what you’ve recorded and start over, go

back to step 3.

If you accidentally played one or two wrong notes, you can erase

them without affecting any other notes by following these steps:

A) While still in Overdub mode, hold down the ERASE key.

B) Just before the wrong notes are about to play, hold that

drum’s pad down, then quickly release it as soon as the

wrong notes have passed.

C) Release the ERASE key. The wrong notes have now been

permanently erased from the sequence.

6. Press STOP.

Next, overdub the percussion part on track 2:

1. With the Play/Record screen showing, move the cursor to the Trk

field and select 2.

2. Set the Type field to DRUM.

3. Enter Record mode again by holding RECORD and pressing

PLAY START. You will hear the drum part you just recorded on

track 1. Don’t worry about erasing it: since track 2 is now the

active track, all recording and erasing occurs only on track 2.

4. Record the percussion part by playing pads assigned to percussion

instruments. (Try Pad Bank B.) Keep adding drums until your

percussion part is complete.

5. If any mistakes were made, use either of the two erase methods

described above.

Next, overdub the bass part on track 3:

1. With the Play/Record screen showing, move the cursor to the Trk

field and select 3 to make track 3 active.
