Recording a
Rhythm Pattern
On the TR-08, the process of
recording or editing a one-measure
pattern is called “rhythm pattern write.”
You can write a rhythm pattern using
either of the following two methods.
Step Write (Step Recording)
Selecting a position and clearing it
Specifying the number of steps and
selecting the pre-scale
7
Create a pattern by specifying the
steps at which each instrument will
sound.
“Position” refers to A or B of each
rhythm pattern.
1. Set the mode switch to “PATTERN
CLEAR.”$
2. Press a BASIC RHYTHM [1]–[12]
button (or a INTRO/FILL IN [1]–[4]
button) to select a basic rhythm (intro/
fill-in).$
3. Set the [BASIC-VARIATION] switch
(or the [I/F-VARIATION] switch) to A or
B.
4. Press the [CLEAR] button.
Here’s how to specify the number of
steps for a part, and select the number
of steps in a beat (PRE-SCALE). The
Clear operation automatically sets this
to 16 steps.$
On the TR-08, one measure is divided
into subdivisions that are assigned to
the STEP NO [1]–[16] buttons,
allowing you to write them. These
divisions are called steps.
If one measure is divided into 16, one
measure equals 16 steps.
