PATTERN MODE 2. Recording t Realtime Recording (Replace, Overdub) You use this recording method when you want to input your phrase in real time. You can input the phrase directly either at the microkeybaord, or else through a remote MIDI keyboard or other such MIDI device. Or you can record (copy) a phrase from a computer or from another sequencer. The PATTERN mode offers two realtime phrase recording methods: REPLACE and OVERDUB. You use the REPLACE method when you want to create a entirely new phrase or overwrite an existing phrase. This method erases any data already existing in the selected phrase. n • You can use pattern job 00 (Undo/Redo) to cancel a recording that you have just made. This allows you to recover data that you have inadvertently over-recorded. (page 82) • Remember to set other appropriate parameters (such as BPM, click beat, click mode, and recording count; see page 133) before beginning the recording. • If you want true recording of velocity values, enter the data from a remote MIDI keyboard. You use OVERDUB when you want to overdub new data onto the phrase's existing data. This allows you to build up a complex, multilayered phrases. 1 After completing the "Preparing to Record" procedure described above, select the track to record via the RM1x keyboard as described on page 27. 2 Set the BPM to the value you want to record at. It's sometimes easier to set a slow tempo for realtime recording, so you have plenty of time to enter the data. 3 Press the PLAY p button to begin recording. The metronome will sound and you'll be given a onemeasure count-in prior to the first measure actually recorded. The count-in is also indicated by negative numbers in the "MEAS" parameter. Play the required part either on the RM1x keyboard or via an external MIDI keyboard. 4 Press the STOP s button when you're ready to stop recording. The normal PATTERN play mode is automatically re-selected when you stop recording, and you'll automatically be returned to the top (first measure) of the pattern. 5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 to record other tracks, as required. If you input an incorrect note, you can remove it on a subsequent round by holding down the [SHIFT] button together with the same note key - hold both of these keys down as the recording passes the point where the original (bad) note was entered.
