F9 MIDI RECORD
From the main Edit Pattern display screen, you can have access to Midi Record F6.
Thanks to this function, you can record the Pattern directly from a complete sequence transmitted by an external Computer or Sequencer.
To record a Pattern from a Sequencer/Computer:
●
Connect the Midi In 2 of the instrument to the Midi Out of the Computer and the Midi Out of the instrument to the Midi In of the computer.
●
Activate the Midi Clock In of the Computer (deactivate the Thru if inserted).
●
Activate Midi Clock Out on the instrument.
●
Prepare the sequence to be transmitted from the Computer/sequencer.
●
The channel of each track of the sequence must correspond to that of the various sections of the style as currently selected in the Midi RX
of the instrument.
●
Press the Edit Pattern button.
●
Select the MIDI RECORD function using F9.
●
Make sure that the Time Signature of the Pattern on the PARAMETER section corresponds to that of the sequence to be transmitted.
●
Choose the part to record (Arrange A, B,C, D, Intro, Fill etc.)
●
Set the Value Quantize function to the desired value. (In the event of very complex sequences, we recommend you select the ‘REAL’ value).
●
Choose the number of Beats to record using the BAR function
●
Press F8 to select REC.
●
Press the Start button. The recording will automatically stop at the end of the set number of beats. All the tracks will be recorded at once.
●
To listen to it again, press Start and play the Pattern normally. In this phase, you can give different Quantizations for the acquired sequen-
ce before saving it.
●
To save the Pattern, press F5 Save.
The biggest difference compared to the traditional recording method lies in the possibility to record all the tracks via MIDI in one go. In fact,
each track corresponds to a specific MIDI channel and by creating, for example, four beats of Arrange A on the external sequencer using all the
tracks containing the Parts, the whole contents of the Part can be sent from the sequencer to be reproduced. In any event it is always possi-
ble to send a single track from the external sequencer using the internal functions of the sequencer such as the equivalent Mute and Solo func-
tions. It is advisable not to use Program Changes in the sequence that will be controlled by the external sequencer. They can be modified at a
later date by selecting the most appropriate voices for each track, from the F1 Record or F9 MIDI Record page as already explained above.
This method of working avoids confusion.
