REFERENCE SECTION Drum Kit Play Mode Timing difference for each hit: The difference in timing accuracy each time you hit a pad or drum is displayed as a number in the range -48 to +48. This is useful to measure the groove of a specific instrument such as the snare or kick drum. A negative value means you are playing slower than the song tempo, and a positive value means you are playing faster. A value of zero means you are playing exactly on time. Average: The difference in timing accuracy is measured as an average and displayed as a number between the range -48 and +48. This is useful to measure the entire groove using a whole drum kit or a specific drum pattern. A negative value means you are playing slower than the song tempo, and a positive value means you are playing faster. A value of zero means you are playing exactly on time. 5.Press the EXIT/NO button to exit from Groove Check mode and return to Drum Kit Play mode. Song Record You can record drum kits and synthesizer performances as User Songs U1-U32. As mentioned earlier (page 12), each song consists of two sequence tracks. For example, you can record a drum kit performance on one track and, via MIDI IN, a MIDI synthesizer performance on the other track. Therefore, you can record drum and accompaniment parts separately. Each track can be used to simultaneously record on all MIDI channels (1 to 16) so you can record everything on a single track. Alternatively, you can use the Song Job function to merge everything to a single track later. You can record your performances in real time (Replace or Overdub) or on a note-by-note (Step) basis. In real-time recording, you can also simultaneously record multiple channels of MIDI data from a sequencer or computer (page 22, Basic Section) via the MIDI IN or TO HOST ports. Recording Procedure 1. Before Recording (page 19) 1. At the Drum Kit/Song page, select the appropriate User Song number for the recording. 2. For real-time recording, set the recording tempo and time signature. 2. Recording Standby (page 19) Enter Song Record Mode (Recording Standby) 1. Choose the recording mode from Replace, OverDub and Step. 2. Choose the track to which you want to record (Track 1 or 2). 3-A. Real-Time Recording (For Replace Or OverDub Mode) (page 20) 1. Number of measures to be recorded: Set the length of the song (i.e., number of measures) you wish to record. 2. Set quantization: Set the minimum note length for real-time recording. 3. Recording: Record your pad or external MIDI keyboard performances. 3-B. Step Recording (page 21) 1. Set quantization: Set the minimum note length for step recording. 2. Recording: Enter data one step at a time while watching the main LCD screen. 18

Drum Kit Play Mode
Timing difference for each hit:
The
difference in timing accuracy each time you
hit a pad or drum is displayed as a number
in the range -48 to +48. This is useful to
measure the groove of a specific instrument
such as the snare or kick drum. A negative
value means you are playing slower than
the song tempo, and a positive value
means you are playing faster. A value of
zero means you are playing exactly on
time.
Average:
The difference in timing accuracy
is measured as an average and displayed as
a number between the range -48 and +48.
This is useful to measure the entire groove
using a whole drum kit or a specific drum
pattern. A negative value means you are
playing slower than the song tempo, and a
positive value means you are playing faster.
A value of zero means you are playing
exactly on time.
