Recording Songs
Before you record a new song, you must specify the time signature.
However, a time signature of 4/4 is automatically specified when
you perform the Song Initialize operation or when the power is
turned on, so you will need to make this setting only if you want to
record a new song in a different time signature.
1.

2.
Press [F8 (Micro Edit)].
The Microscope screen appears.
3.
Press [F7 (Trk/Ch)].
The Trc/Ch Select window appears.
4.
Press or to move the cursor to “Track.”

signature.
If you want to change time signatures midway through the
song, refer to
“Changing the Time Signature Midway
Through the Song”
(p. 196).
7.
Press [EXIT] to return to the previous screen.
If you are recording to a phrase track, see
“Recording Your
Performance as You Play It (Realtime Recording)”
(p. 170).
Specifying the Time Signature of a
Pattern
Each pattern has a Pattern Beat setting that manages the time
signature of that pattern. The pattern beat acts as a guide when the
pattern is played or recorded, and is handled independently of the
time signature of the song (i.e., the time signature recorded in the
beat track).
The pattern beat is normally set to a time signature of 4/4, but you
can change this setting when the song has a time signature other
than 4/4, or when you want to record a pattern with a time signature
different than that of the song.
Only one pattern beat setting can be specified at the beginning of
each pattern. This means that it is not possible to change time
signatures midway through a pattern.
