Saving an Edited Pattern

•

The 10 rhythm numbers 120 through 129 make up the user rhythm

area, where you can store your original rhythms. You can recall a

user rhythm with the same operation as that for recalling a built-in

pattern, and you can even use a user rhythm pattern as the base for

creating a new rhythm pattern.

•

The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies

power to the memory to retain memory contents while keyboard

power is turned off. See

“

Power Requirements

”

on page E-15 for

important information about the lithium battery.

•

You can use the keyboard

’

s MIDI capabilities to save your original

accompaniment patterns to a computer or other external storage

device. See

“

Bulk Sending Keyboard Data

”

on page E-65 for de-

tails.

•

With the WK-1800, you can use the built-in disk drive to save orig-

inal accompaniment patterns to diskette. See

“

Using the Floppy

Disk Drive (WK-1800 Only)

”

on page E-67 for details.

•

You can store up to 10 accompaniment patterns in the user area,

but the actual number of patterns you will be able to store depends

on their sizes. If the patterns you store are relatively large, memo-

ry become full after fewer than 10 patterns are stored.

Using the Pattern Create Mode

This section describes how to use the Pattern Create Mode to create

an original accompaniment pattern.

IMPORTANT!

The procedures in this section all assume that you have read and are

familiar with the information under

“

Pattern Sequencer Basics

”

on

page E-48, and that you already know how to navigate between Pat-

tern Sequencer modes.

❚

NOTE

❚

Be sure to save your work whenever you quit an accompaniment pattern

creation session. See

“

Exiting the Pattern Sequencer Mode

”

on page E-56

for details.

Pattern Creation Techniques

You can use either of the two following techniques to create an ac-

companiment pattern.

•

Base Pattern Editing

While playing back the part of a built-in pattern or previously cre-

ated user pattern, you can add or delete notes, or completely de-

lete a part and replace it with a new one.

•

From Scratch

With this method, you must input all the parts for all the elements

you want to use. With this method, you must use the procedure

under

“

Work Area Clear

”

on page E-54 to clear the Pattern Sequenc-

er work area before you start recording.

The record procedure is identical, no matter which of the above meth-

ods you use.

The following procedure tells you how to play back individual ele-

ments of the accompaniment pattern currently stored in the Pattern

Sequencer work area. If you are going to use the base pattern editing

method described above, you can use this procedure to become fa-

miliar with all the parts that make up the pattern before you actually

start editing it.
