PATTERN MODE 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 Press the PLAY p button to begin recording. The STEP record display shown above will appear. 3 Use the display knobs to set the STEP, PAD VELO, and GATE TIME parameters as required. 4 Enter a note. Once the note parameters have been specified, the note can be entered simply by playing the appropriate key on the RM1x keyboard (or on your external MIDI keyboard). A dot corresponding to the entered note will appear on the note display and the note pointer will advance to the next note position. Chords can be entered simply by moving the note pointer back to a note and entering another note at the same location (this can be repeated as many times as necessary). See "Moving Around In the Note Display", below. During STEP recording you can press the PLAY p button to start playback and monitor the material being recorded. 5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the current track is complete, then press STOP s to stop recording. n • Under step recording, note registration occurs when you release the key(s), rather than when you press them. This makes it easy to enter a block chord: you can pick out the notes one by one and then release them all at the same time. The Note Display The note display shows up to four 1/4-notes worth of data at once (that's one measure in 4/4 time). Each triangle on the display equals a 32nd-note step. If the selected time signature results in more than four 1/4 notes per measure, then the display will scroll to show the extra notes. Moving Around In the Note Display Use Display Knob 1 to move the note pointer to any position at which you want to enter a note, or to any note that you want to delete. You will actually hear the appropriate note or chord when the note pointer is moved to an existing note symbol. When you move the note pointer past the end of the note display, the next measure will appear. If you move past the last measure in the phrase, the first measure of the phrase will appear. 2. Recording The Numeric POINTER Display The POINTER area of the step record display shows the current position of the note pointer in measures, 1/4-note beats, and clocks (there are 480 clocks per 1/4 note). If you're not sure what measure you're seeing on the note display while recording, check the POINTER display. PAD Entry of Non-note Values When an event type other than "Note" is selected during step recording, values can be entered via the RM1x keyboard when the VALUE parameter is set to PAD. • PB Events When the Pitch Bend (PB) event type is selected and the VALUE parameter is set to PAD, the full -8192 ... +8191 parameter range is assigned to the RM1x keyboard. While holding the [OCT UP] button, pressing the leftmost key enters the value "±0000," and each key to the right increases the value by approximately 341 per semitone. The rightmost key enters "+8191." While holding the [OCT DOWN] button, pressing the rightmost key enters the value "±0000," and each key to the left decreases the value by approximately 341 per semitone. The leftmost key enters "-8192." The keyboard can be used without holding the [OCT UP] or [OCT DOWN] button, but in this case the center key produces a value of "±0000" while keys to the left and right decrease and increase the value by approximatyely 341 per semitone, respectively. The leftmost key enters "-4096" while the rightmost key enters "+4096." • CC Events When the Control Change (CC) event type is selected and the VALUE parameter is set to PAD, the full 000 ... 127 parameter range is assigned to the RM1x keyboard. The leftmost key enters a value of "000," and each key to the right increases the value by 5 or 6 per semitone. The rightmost key enters "127." RM1x SEQUENCE REMIXER 53
