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 capability). 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 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 CORRECT

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.
