Playing samples and recording your performance (Pattern Sequencer)
1. Press [PATTERN SELECT] so the button is lit.
The display will indicate “Ptn” and the pads that have
been recorded will blink.
2. Press [DEL] so the button is lit.
The display will indicate “dEL.”
If the display indicates “EMP,” that bank does not
contain any pads to which a pattern is assigned.
3. Press a bank button and a pad to specify the bank and
pad of the pattern you want to delete.
The selected pad will light, and [DEL] will blink.
Nothing will happen if you press a pad to which no pattern is
assigned (i.e., a pad that is not lit).
You can simultaneously select more than one pad if they are in
the same bank.
If you specify a bank that’s protected (p. 51), the display will
indicate “Prt” (Protected) and you won’t be able to delete a
pattern.
If you decide not to delete a pattern, press [CANCEL].
4. Press [DEL] to carry out the deletion.
During this process, [DEL] will change from blinking to
lit, and the dot in the display will blink. When the dot
stops blinking, deletion has been completed.
Never turn off the power while the dot is blinking. Doing so
may destroy not only the pattern you’re deleting, but also other
patterns or the CompactFlash card.
Here’s how to delete all patterns from internal memory or
CompactFlash.
1. Press [PATTERN SELECT] so the button is lit.
The display will indicate “Ptn,” and pads that are
recorded will blink.
2. While holding down [CANCEL], press [DEL].
The display will indicate “dAL,” and [DEL] will light.
BANK [A]–[F/J] will blink.
If no CompactFlash card is inserted, BANK [C/G]–[F/J] will
not blink.
3. Press one of the bank buttons to specify the memory
that you want to erase.
BANK [A] or [B]: Internal memory
BANK [C/G]–[F/J]: CompactFlash
If you specify a protected bank (p. 51), the display will
indicate “Prt” (Protected), and you won’t be able to delete the
patterns.
If you decide not to delete the patterns, press [CANCEL].
4. Press [DEL] to carry out the deletion.
During this process, [DEL] will change from blinking to
lit, and the dot in the display will blink. When the dot
stops blinking, the deletion has been completed.
Never turn off the power while the dot is blinking. Doing so
may destroy not only the patterns you’re deleting, but also
other patterns or the CompactFlash card.
