Subjob 1: Length
If you are writing a new pattern, the length of the pattern should
be set. The
length
may
be
| through
16 sixteenth
notes
(semiquavers) long. A blank pattern will be initialized to 16/16.
Use the +1/ҮЕ$ and -1/NO keys to set the length of the pattern.
Pattern length 1-32/16

You cannot change the length of an already existing pattern. An
error message "! ALREADY
SET !" will be displayed.
Subjob 2: Quantization
Quantization determines how the notes you input are "time cor-
rected",
Quantization 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/12, 1/24, 1/48

Forexample, if you set QUANTIZE to 1/8, all notes you play will
be corrected to the nearest 1/8th note (quaver), no matter how
inaccurate your original timing.
Subjob 3: Click Level
Click Level sets the volume of the metronome from 00 to 63.
00-63
Realtime Write
Press START to begin Realtime Write.
RECORD:
INT. clock
РТМІ1
The metronome will sound every quarter note (crochet) with the
first beat of each bar accented. Tap an instrument key to input
notes for that voice. Tapping an instrument key while an AC-
CENT, PITCH, EFFECT or REVERSE key is pressed will input
the note with the corresponding variation. To erase an already
recorded voice, hold down
the BEAT
CLEAR
key and the
appropriate instrument key in time with the notes you want to
erase. While in Realtime Write mode. you can press VOICE
EDIT, VOICE ASSIGN, MULTI, or TEMPO
to access a sub-
function. Pressing an instrument key while in one of these sub-
functions will not record the voice. Press JOB + Ото return to
Realtime Write.
Realtime Write ма MIDI
In addition to, or instead of using the instrument keys, you can
record in real time by playing a MIDI instrument connected to the
RX8 MIDI IN. Each different note will be interpreted either as
playing a different RX8 voice or as playing the same RX8 voice
with varying pitch over a C3 to C5 range (for details, see NOTE
ASSIGN
mode). The Note On velocity of the incoming MIDI
note determines the volume of each note recorded on the RX8 as
follows:
Recorded accent value = (MIDI velocity / 2) - 32
For example if the incoming note has a velocity of 64, it will be
recorded as an accent level of 0.
End Realtime Record
Press STOP/CONTINUE
to end Realtime
Record.
You will
return to the Pattern Mode menu display.
Job 3: STEP WRITE
———M—
In Step Write you can create or edit a Pattern step by step. Press
PATTERN, then JOB + 3 (or the 4 and № keys) to obtain the
following display:
You can now
press START
to begin step writing, or make
settings in the two Step Write
mode
sub-jobs:
Length and
Quantization (see below).
Step Write Display
When you press START to begin step writing, the display will
show something like the following.
The display shows the Pattern divided into steps, the length of
which is determined by the Quantize sub-job. When you tap an
instrument key, the voice assigned to it will be input, and the
cursor position will advance one step. Use the 4 and № keys to
move back and forth through the steps without entering a voice.
Thus, to input quarter notes (crochets) when Quantize is set to 1/
16 (as above). you would tap the instrument key once and then
press the key three times to advance to the next quarter note
(crochet).
The Step Write display uses the following characters;
- : An empty beat (for the selected instrument)
о: А beat of the selected instrument
*: A beat of the displayed instrument, non-displayable
И notes have previously been entered in one quantize setting, it
is possible that their position cannot be displayed precisely in
