erasing your new notes. The notes you played will be heard at the

position they were recorded, except that the Timing Correct function

has automatically moved all of your notes to the nearest 1/16-note.

(This can be defeated, as explained in “The TIMING CORRECT Key”

section, later in this chapter.)

8. Press STOP.

COMMENT: To initialize a sequence to a different time signature

or number of bars, press ERASE and select <Initialize>.

If you don’t think your pattern sounds as good as you intended, you may

need some practice in following the metronome. If you want to erase

what you’ve just recorded and start again, simply repeat steps 6 through

8 above.

To erase a particular drum from your new sequence

1. Press the ERASE key. The following screen will appear:

================= Erase ===============A

Seqnc: 1-SEQ01

Track: 1-TRK01 (0 = all)

Ticks:001.01.00-003.01.00

Erase:ALL EVENTS

Notes:ALL (Hit pads)

========================================

2. To select a particular drum to erase, press the drum pad that was

used to record its notes. Immediately, the Notes field will display the

note number (35–98), pad number, and currently assigned sound for

the selected pad. To erase additional notes, continue pressing pads.

The Notes field will always display the last pad pressed, and the total

number of pads selected is displayed on the right side of the same

line.

3. Press Soft key 1: <Do it>. When you press this soft key, all notes

assigned to the note number(s) you selected will be erased

throughout the track, after which the Play/Record screen will be

displayed.

4. Now, enter Overdub mode by holding OVERDUB and PLAY START

simultaneously and re-record that pad into your track. (Unlike Record

mode, which erases existing notes as you record new notes, Overdub

mode merges the new notes into the existing notes.)

To hear your new drum pattern, press STOP then PLAY START.
