Chapter 3: Recording Sequencesthe nearest value specified in the Timing Correct screen (in thiscase, 1/16-note).5. Without stopping the sequence, record a 1/16-note hi-hat part bysimultaneously holding the TIMING CORRECT key and theHIHAT CLOSED pad, varying the pressure on the pad as thesequence plays. After four bars, release both the key and the pad.Notice that closed hi-hats have now been recorded on all 1/16-notes. This feature is called note repeat and is described furtherin the “Timing Correct” section, later in this chapter. If at anytime you want to erase what you’ve recorded and start over, goback to step 3.If you accidentally played one or two wrong notes, you can erasethem without affecting any other notes by following these steps:A) While still in Overdub mode, hold down the ERASE key.B) Just before the wrong notes are about to play, hold thatdrum’s pad down, then quickly release it as soon as thewrong notes have passed.C) Release the ERASE key. The wrong notes have now beenpermanently erased from the sequence.6. Press STOP.Next, overdub the percussion part on track 2:1. With the Play/Record screen showing, move the cursor to the Trkfield and select 2.2. Set the Type field to DRUM.3. Enter Record mode again by holding RECORD and pressingPLAY START. You will hear the drum part you just recorded ontrack 1. Don’t worry about erasing it: since track 2 is now theactive track, all recording and erasing occurs only on track 2.4. Record the percussion part by playing pads assigned to percussioninstruments. (Try Pad Bank B.) Keep adding drums until yourpercussion part is complete.5. If any mistakes were made, use either of the two erase methodsdescribed above.Next, overdub the bass part on track 3:1. With the Play/Record screen showing, move the cursor to the Trkfield and select 3 to make track 3 active.Page 46
