The Note Repeat Feature

Another very useful feature of the TIMING CORRECT key is the

ability to automatically repeat either drum or keyboard notes at a

preset timing interval. This is useful in creating:

• Drum rolls

• Repeating-note drum patterns, such as 1/16-note hi-hat patterns

• Repeating keyboard notes, such as a repeated 1/16-note bass part

The Note Repeat feature is used in real time while recording or

playing. To use this feature, press and hold TIMING CORRECT

while in Play, Overdub, or Record mode. The top line of the Play/

Record screen will change to:

==== (Hold pads or keys to repeat) =====

If any drum pads (when the active track is a drum track) or keys

(when the active track is a MIDI track) are held while TIMING

CORRECT is being held, they will automatically be repeated at the

timing interval selected in the Note value field of the Timing

Correct screen. Furthermore, the velocity level of each repeating

note is set by the current pressure applied to the drum pad or key

being played (if your MIDI keyboard has channel pressure capabil-

ity). To demonstrate this effect:

1. Set up a sequence for recording, select a drum track to record,

and initiate recording.

2. While holding TIMING CORRECT, also hold the drum pad

assigned to the closed hi-hat, varying the pressure as you hold it.

You should hear repeating 1/16-note hi-hats.

3. Press STOP to stop playing.

4. Press TIMING CORRECT and select 1/32 TRPLT in the Note

field.

5. Press MAIN SCREEN to return to the Play/Record screen.

6. Enter Overdub mode.

7. While holding TIMING CORRECT, also hold the pad assigned to

snare drum, varying the pressure as you hold it. You should hear

a snare drum roll with varying dynamics.

This same procedure can be used in exactly the same way when

recording keyboard sequences. In this case, hold TIMING COR-

RECT while holding one or more keys on the MIDI keyboard. In

order to use the varying pressure technique, you will need to use a

keyboard that sends channel pressure messages.
