PATTERN MODE 2. Recording Recording type The PATTERN mode offers four different phrase recording types: two realtime types and two step types. The REPLACE type records performance data in real time, overwriting any data already present in the destination user phrase. The new data replaces the previous data. This is the type to use when you wish to redo a phrase that you are not satisfied with or that you no longer need. (page 51) The OVERDUB type - the second realtime type - records onto the selected phrase while leaving its previous data in place. This is the method to use when you need to create a complex, multilayer phrase. (page 51) The STEP type lets you compose your performance by "writing" it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, step recording method - similar to the process of writing musical notations onto music paper. This method supports "overdubbing," since events are not removed unless you explicitly erase them. (page 52) The GRID type lets you record 1-measure phrases by entering notes on a 16th-note "grid" formed by the white keys of the RM1x keyboard. The pitch, gate time, and velocity of each note entered can be set via the display knobs. (page 54) If the style to be recorded and recording mode have already been selected in the PATTERN mode, you can engage the record ready mode directly from the PATCH display. In this case the PATCH display will appear as shown below.
