The following sections summarize the step edit options.

2.8A Add a New Drum to a Step

Use the PAGE buttons to select the step where the drum is to be added. Press the

pad that corresponds to the sound you want to add. That drum, along with its volume

(how hard the pad was struck), will be recorded into the displayed step.

If you hit a pad and there is already a drum event played by that pad on the displayed

step, you will edit the volume rather than add another event. This is true even if there

are several events on the displayed beat, and an event other than the one to be edited

is showing.

2.8B Erase a Drum Sound From a Step

Use the PAGE buttons to locate the step containing the drum to be erased. While

holding down the ERASE button, press PLAY. The drum that was being displayed will

be erased.

2.8C Change a Drum Sound's Volume in a Given Step

Use the PAGE buttons to select the step containing the drum whose volume needs to

be changed. Either press a number button from 1-8 (1=softest, 8=loudest), use the

INC/DEC buttons, or tap the displayed drum pad at the desired level. If you play a pad

to change the level and there are several events on the same step, the display need

not show the specific drum whose volume you want to edit.

2.8D Exit Step Mode

To exit step mode, press STOP, RECORD SETUP, or PLAY.

2.9 PAGE 9: NAME THE PATTERN (NAME)

The display shows NAME and

the current name (or NO NAME if

the Pattern has not yet been

named). To name, use the PAGE

UP/DOWN buttons to select the

character to be changed; select

the desired character with the

INC/DEC buttons. Lower case

and upper case letters, numbers,

punctuation, and various special-

purpose characters are available.

You can also enter numbers with

the number buttons.
