Section 3: Recording sequence

performed, because there is no space before the start of the sequence for

them to be moved to. To avoid this problem, insert a blank bar before bar

1 of the sequence before performing the shift operation, then be sure to

include this extra bar within the range of bars to be shifted. This way, the

notes which would have been lost will now be moved earlier onto this

newly inserted bar.

3.8.4 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

note interval. This is useful in creating:

• Drum rolls

• Repeating note drum patterns, such as 1/16 note hihat patterns

• Repeating keyboard notes, such as a repeated 1J16 note bass part

The NOTE REPEAT feature is used in real time while recording. To use

this feature, press and hold TIMING CORRECT while in OVERDUB or

RECORD mode, and the top line of the PLAY/RECORD screen will

change:

If any drum pads (if the active track is a "drums" track) or keys (if the active

track is a "non-drums" track) are held while TIMING CORRECT is being

held, they will be automatically repeated at the TIMING CORRECT note

value setting. Further, the velocity level of each repeating note is set by the

current pressure setting of 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 a two bar repeating drum pattern (be

sure to set the upper CH field to "16A").

2. Press TIMING CORRECT and select "1/16 NOTE" in the NOTE

VALUE field.

3. Press MAIN SCREEN to return to the PLAY/RECORD screen.

4. Enter OVERDUB mode by holding OVERDUB and pressing PLAY

START.

5. While holding TIMING CORRECT, also hold the WHAT pad,

varying the pressure as you hold it. You should hear repeating 1/16

note hihats.
