Chapter 3: Recording Sequences

Page 47

2. Set the Type field to MIDI, indicating that this track will not

play the internal drum sounds.

3. Set the Chn field to 1A, indicating that track 3 will play through

MIDI channel 1 and MIDI output port A. The Chn field is actu-

ally two fields—move the cursor to the position indicated by the

underline below and select 1:

Chn:OFF becomes—> Chn: 1A

4. If you play the MIDI keyboard now, the synthesizer that is set to

receive on MIDI channel 1 should play a bass sound. If not, check

the previous steps and your MIDI hookup.

5. Press the COUNT IN key—the light will go on. This will cause

the metronome to play one bar before the sequence plays to cue

you to start playing. By default, the count in will only play before

you start recording or overdubbing but not before playing. This

can be changed by pressing the OTHER key and changing the

setting of the Count in field in the screen that appears.

6. Enter RECORD MODE by holding RECORD and pressing PLAY

START.

7. Once the COUNT IN bar has passed, record your bass part in

time to the drums and percussion parts.

8. Press the COUNT IN key again to turn it off.

9. If you make a mistake while recording, you can correct it by

punching in the new note:

A) Press the REWIND keys [<] or [<<] until the Now field

shows a location about one bar before the mistake.

B) Press PLAY (not PLAY START). The sequence will start

playing from the position shown in the Now field.

C) Just before the wrong note plays, press RECORD and

PLAY simultaneously to enter Record mode (in which

existing notes are erased while new notes are recorded)

then play the correct note. You can now either punch out

by pressing RECORD again or continue recording from

that point. Don’t worry: when the sequence loops back to

bar 1, it will automatically switch from Record to Over-

dub mode so that those notes in the earlier part of the

sequence won’t be erased.

Now, overdub the piano part on track 4:

1. Move the cursor to the Trk field and select 4 to make track 4

active.

1 2 ... 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 ... 275 276
