3. Phrase Recording Real-Time Recording Real-time recording allows anything played on the RS7000 keyboard, operation of the assignable knobs, and data received from an external MIDI controller to be recorded in real time. In this section we'll look at the real-time REPLACE or OVERDUB recording procedure. Record Procedure (REPLACE, OVERDUB) 1. Press [PATTERN] to enter the PATTERN Play mode. 2. Specify a style and section to select the pattern for which the phrase is to be recorded (Page 72). 3. Press [PATTERN] to switch to the PATTERN Patch mode. 4. Select a track and a user phrase (Page 75). 5. Press [REC] to engage the Rec Standby mode (PATTERN Patch). 6. Use [Knob 1](BANK) and [Knob 2](PGM) to select a voice for the phrase. If necessary also use [Knob 3](TRANS ON/OFF) to turn transposition ON or OFF. 7. Press [PATTERN] to switch to the PATTERN Play Rec Standby mode. 8. Use [Knob 2](REC TYPE) to select the REPLACE or OVERDUB record type. Use [Knob1](REC LOOP) to turn the REC LOOP parameter ON or OFF, as required. Also use [Knob 3](REC QUANTIZE) and [F3] to set up record quantize, and [Knob 4](BPM) to set the BPM as required. 9. Press [PLAY] and begin recording after the count-in. 10. Play the part on the keyboard and assignable knobs. 11. Tracks can be switched during recording. NOTE • If REC LOOP is ON, the phrase being recorded will continue to loop until the [STOP] button is pressed. • Mistakes can be "erased" by holding the [SHIFT] button and pressing the key corresponding to the note or instrument you want to erase. • Assignable knob data can also be erased by holding the [SHIFT] button and operating the appropriate knob. The knob data is erased from the point at which the [SHIFT] button is held and the knob operated until the [SHIFT] button is released. 12. Stop recording and return to the PATTERN Play (or PATTERN Patch) mode by pressing the [STOP] button. NOTE Pressing [JOB] while holding [SHIFT] directly accesses the "00 Undo/Redo" phrase job (Page 68, Page 134), allowing the previous record operation to be undone. This is useful if, for example, you've accidentally erased material on a track you wanted to keep by recording in the REPLACE mode. Step Recording User phrase notes, pitch bend data and control change data can be recorded step-by-step. Record Procedure 1. Press [PATTERN] to enter the PATTERN Play mode. 2. Specify a style and section to select the pattern for which the phrase is to be recorded (Page 72). 3. Press [PATTERN] to switch to the PATTERN Patch mode. 4. Select a track and a user phrase (Page 75). 5. Press [REC] to engage the Rec Standby mode (PATTERN Patch). 6. Use [Knob 1](BANK) and [Knob 2](PGM) to select a voice for the phrase. If necessary also use [Knob 3](TRANS ON/OFF) to turn transposition ON or OFF. 7. Press [PATTERN] to switch to the PATTERN Play Rec Standby mode. 8. Use [Knob 2](REC TYPE) to select the STEP record type. 9. Use [Knob 3](EVENT TYPE) to select the type of data you want to record: notes, pitch bend, or control change. 10. Press [PLAY] and the Step Rec display will appear. G Recording Notes 11. Use [Knob 1](POINTER) to move the pointer to the position at which you want to enter a note, [Knob 2](STEP) to set the note length, [Knob 3](VELOCITY) to set the note velocity, and [Knob 4](GATE TIME) to set the gate time. 12. Enter the note by pressing the appropriate key on the keyboard. Press [F1](REST) to enter a rest, or [F2](TIE) to enter a tie. The [F3] (DELETE) and [F4] (BACK DELETE) buttons can be used to delete entered notes. 80 RS7000
