Chapter 5. Replacing phrases to create a different pattern (MEGAMIX)<br />
Saving the pattern you<br />
rearranged<br />
When you have used MEGAMIX to create a pattern that you<br />
like, you can save it as a User Pattern. The saved pattern can<br />
be recalled during normal pattern playback, just as any other<br />
pattern.<br />
If you edit another pattern, switch to Song mode, or turn off<br />
the power without saving the pattern you recorded or edited,<br />
your edits will be lost.<br />
* You must stop pattern playback before saving the pattern.<br />
1. Use MEGAMIX to create a pattern.<br />
2. Press [ ] to stop pattern playback.<br />
3. Press [WRITE].<br />
A screen will appear in which you can specify the savedestination<br />
pattern.<br />
4. Turn [VALUE] to specify the save-destination<br />
pattern.<br />
The data will be saved in the pattern you specify here. Be<br />
careful not to specify the wrong pattern, since the<br />
pattern that was previously saved in this location will be<br />
erased.<br />
5. Press [ENTER].<br />
The display will ask “SurE” (are you sure you want to<br />
proceed with the save?).<br />
6. To save the data, press [ENTER].<br />
* To cancel without saving, press [EXIT].<br />
After the data has been saved, the save-destination<br />
pattern number will be displayed.<br />
Tips when using MEGAMIX to create a<br />
pattern<br />
If the patterns that you combine using MEGAMIX have<br />
different time signatures or a different number of<br />
measures, their playback may not be connected<br />
appropriately. When using MEGAMIX to combine<br />
patterns, it is best to combine patterns of the same<br />
number of measures and time signature.<br />
When you use MEGAMIX to replace phrases within a<br />
pattern, the volume balance of the parts may change<br />
significantly, depending on the phrase that you replaced.<br />
In such cases, you should re-adjust the Part Level (p. 19)<br />
before you save the pattern.<br />
Most of the preset patterns have the following part<br />
structure.<br />
Part R Drums<br />
Part 1 For D-FIELD performance (contains no<br />
performance data)<br />
Part 2 Bass<br />
Parts 3–7 Chords, lead, other<br />
Keeping the above structure in mind, you can replace<br />
part 2 when you wish to replace the bass, replace part R<br />
when you wish to replace the drums, and so on.<br />
If you follow the above guidelines when creating user<br />
patterns as sell, it sill be easier to use your patterns with<br />
MEGAMIX.<br />
It is not possible to perform MEGAMIX between part R<br />
and parts 1–7.<br />
