Creating a song<br />
(Song Recording)<br />
You can input patterns one by one to specify the order in<br />
which the patterns will be played back. The playback order<br />
of the patterns is indicated by a number called the step.<br />
1. Press [SONG] to enter Song mode.<br />
2. Turn [VALUE] to select the song number that you<br />
wish to create.<br />
3. Press [ ].<br />
[ ] will light, and the D2 will be in SONG REC mode.<br />
4. Turn [VALUE] to select the pattern that will play back<br />
for this step.<br />
5. As necessary, edit the setup parameters (p. 20) such<br />
as the mute and patch setting of each part.<br />
6. Press [ENTER] to proceed to the next step.<br />
7. Repeat steps 4–6 to input the pattern for the second<br />

the procedure.<br />
] to end<br />
<br />
During recording, you can select a pattern and press [ ] to<br />
audition that pattern.<br />
<br />
If you have modified setup parameters (p. 20) such as part<br />
mute and effect settings during song recording, you can<br />
press [ENTER] to register the modified state of these settings.<br />
This merely registers the pattern setup parameters as song<br />
data, and does not affect the original patterns.<br />
You can use this function to change the mute settings or MFX<br />
type of a pattern, or to make a song in which a pattern<br />
develops gradually.<br />
<br />
After recording several steps, you can use [<br />
SONG REC mode to move between steps.<br />
