Creating a Song
Record the MIDI sequence data to a Song or Pattern track, referring to the previous instructions in this chapter as
needed.
The examples listed below are used as reference.
Creating a rhythm pattern (using a Drum Voice)
Track 1 Record a basic rhythm pattern using various drum instruments.
Track 2 – 4 Record a different rhythm pattern using a specific drum instrument to each track.
Creating a bass line (using a Normal Voice)
Track 1 Record a bass line using a specific desired key (root).
Track 2 – 4
Creating a guitar backing part (using a Keyboard Mega Voice)
Track 1 Record a guitar backing part using a specific desired key (root).
Track 2 Record a different rhythm using one of the "special" sounds, such as a finger
mute or scratching noise.
Track 3 – 4
n
Up to 16 unique note numbers can be recorded to the Arpeggio track. (This does not apply to multiple instances of the same note number.) If
more than 16 different note numbers have been recorded to the MIDI sequence data, the Convert operation reduces the notes in excess of the
limit. Because of this, be careful to record only up to 16 different notes when you create an Arpeggio, especially when using all four tracks.
Convert type which determines how the Song/Pattern data is converted to the Arpeggio data
The Arpeggio data created via the above instructions is stored on internal Flash ROM, meaning that it will not be lost,
even if you turn the power off. When saving the Arpeggio data to a USB storage device, set the file type (TYPE) to "All"
or "UsrArp" in step 3 described on page 99.
Storing/Saving the created Song/Pattern
The created Song/Pattern data resides on DRAM (page 150). Because data contained in DRAM is lost when the power is
turned off, you should always save any data residing in DRAM to a USB storage device in the File mode before turning off
the power. Please note that the edited Mixing settings should be stored before saving to a USB storage device.

Since the Mixing templates are stored as System data in the Flash ROM, the data is maintained even when the power is turned off.
