Bass 234
Now use the key to move to the second MULTI sub-job - pitch
setting:
>PITCH MULTI ?
Bass 1> 1234
Press the +1/YES key to obtain the following:
If you press the instrument keys, you will hear that they all now
play a bass note, moving up in semitones. The top left-hand
instrument Key is the lowest note. Moving along the top row of
instrument keys, the pitch increases in semitone steps. The pitch
Msequence then continues with the left-hand key of the bottom row
of instrument keys and goes along the bottom row to the right.
Use the JOB and 0 keys together to exit from the MULTI job.
Now you can start recording the bass line in exactly the same way
that you recorded the drum and percussion patterns. Notice,
though, that when you're using a MULTI instrument assignment,
using the BEAT CLEAR button and any instrument key to clear
spurious notes will clear ALL notes of that voice as long as these
buttons are pressed - not just the one assigned to that key.
To restore the original "drum kit" to the instrument keys, you
will have to select the fourth job, EXIT MULTI, from MULTI
amined'. To do this, press the MULTI key, and use the № key until
you get to the following display:
»EXIT MULTI ?
Bass 1> 1234
Press the +1/УЕЗ key. The display will briefly show "EXIT
COMPLETE !", and the original drum set will be restored.
Another useful trick
If you have a velocity-sensitive MIDI keyboard (eg a DX7
DX11, YS100 or YS200), this can be used to input notes into the
RX8. Make sure that the MIDI OUT of the keyboard is connected
10 Ше MIDI IN of the RX8.
Press the SYNC/MIDI button on the ВХ8 till you see the
following display:
If the CH MESSAGE is OFF, set it to ON with the +1/YES key.
Now move to job 2 (JOB+2 keys together). This sets the MIDI
Receive channel (1 to 16).
