Creating Patterns—basic procedure

Patterns consist of the following three types of data:

• MIDI sequence data (created in the Pattern Record mode, Pattern Edit mode, and Pattern Job mode)

• Setup data (created in the Pattern Play mode)

• Mixing data (created in the Pattern Mixing mode/Mixing Edit mode and stored in the Pattern Mixing Store mode)

After creating the data in these modes described above, store the Mixing settings in the Pattern Mixing Store mode to archive it as Pattern
data and save the entire Pattern to the USB storage device in the File mode.

Non-note MIDI events (such as Voice number, volume, pan, and effect send level) which are necessary at the start of a Pattern are not recorded as
MIDI sequence data, but are stored instead as Mixing data.

Because Pattern data (MIDI sequence data, Setup data, and Mixing data) is recorded to DRAM (page 150), it will be lost when turning the power off.
Make sure to save any Pattern data created via the Record, Edit, Job, and Mixing setting to the USB storage device in the File mode before turning the
power off. For details on saving Pattern data, see page 98.

MEAS (Measure)

Indicates the current measure number and beat for the current Pattern. During playback, this indication
changes automatically according to the Pattern playback. You can input the desired measure number directly
by using the Number Input window called up via the [INFORMATION] button.

[SF1] ARP1 (Arpeggio 1) – [SF5]
ARP5 (Arpeggio 5)

You can register the desired Arpeggio types to these buttons and call them up any time during your keyboard
performance.

[F2] GROOVE (Grid Groove)

[F3] TRACK

[SF1] CHANNEL

Same as in the Song Play mode. See page 178.

[SF2] OUT SW (Output Switch)

Same as in the Song Play mode. See page 179.

[SF3] TR VCE (Track Voice)

Determines whether the program change data contained in the phrase data is effective or not. For most
purposes, this should be set to “off.” For example, if a phrase has embedded Voice changes (program change
messages) but you don’t want the Voice to change in the middle of the phrase, set this to “off.” Tracks that are
set to “off” here automatically play back with the Voice number assigned to the Part set in the Mixing mode.

The Phrase Voice embedded in the Phrase can be specified from the Voice display in the Pattern Record mode (page
198).

[F4] PATCH

Refer to page 78 in the Quick Guide section.

From this display, you can assign a Preset phrase or a User phrase (recorded in the Pattern Record mode) to each track and create a Pattern that contains
up to 16 tracks.

The Patch function allows you to use only User phrases recorded to a track of the currently selected Pattern. If you wish to use User phrases recorded to tracks of other
Patterns, use the Phrase Data Copy function, selected with [SF5] button.

Section

Shows the current edited section. For details about how to change sections, see page 75.

Meas

Shows Measure: Beat for current playback location.

[SF4] CLEAR

This clears the Phrase assignment to the currently selected track and leaves the track empty.

[SF5] COPY

The User phrases that can be assigned with the
Patch function are limited to the ones contained
in the currently selected Pattern. This function
lets you copy phrases in another Pattern to the
selected one. Press the [SF5] button to call up
the display shown at left. After setting the
parameters as needed, press the [ENTER] button
to copy the phrase data.

The copy operation overwrites any data
previously existing in the destination phrase.
