If you executed this operation with Copy Pattern to 
Track too?

 checked in step 3, the Copy Pattern To 

 dialog box will appear.

This dialog box is the same as the one that appears for 
the Copy To Track (P10: Pattern/RPPR– Pattern Edit) 
menu command.

In the To Track field, select the copy-destination track.

In the Measure field, specify the starting measure of 
the copy-destination.

Following the pattern name for each of the 671 preset 
patterns, the musical style and the name of the most 
suitable Drums category program are partially 
displayed.

By loading a drums track and the corresponding preset 
pattern, you can instantly set up a drum track 
appropriate for each preset template song.

When you execute this operation, the Measure field 
will count up automatically, showing how many 
measures of the selected pattern have been placed in 
the selected song. You can then copy another pattern if 
desired, or add more measures of the same pattern. 
When you’re finished, press the Exit button.

You can copy the settings of a combination or program, 
and assign these settings to a track.

When you’ve finished with “Preparations for 
recording,” you can start recording.

This is a method of recording in which your playing on 
the keyboard and your operations of controllers such 
as the joystick are recorded in real time. This method of 
recording is normally used one track at a time, and is 
called single track recording.

As an alternative, multitrack recording allows you to 
simultaneously record multiple channels of data onto 
multiple tracks. This is the method you will use when 
using the Drum Track function, the RPPR function, and 
the arpeggiator to record multiple tracks of musical 
data at once, or when you play back existing sequence 
data on an external sequencer and record it onto M50’s 
sequencer in real time.

In P0–1: Play/REC– Preference page Recording Setup, 
select the realtime recording method you want to use.

When recording for the first time, you will normally 
select this method.

If you use this method to record on a track on which 
data has already been recorded, all data will be 
replaced for the measure at which you began recording 
and at all subsequent measures.

Normally you will use this method to record, and then 
modify the results by using other types of real-time 
recording or MIDI event editing.

If the Metronome Setup is still set to the default 
settings, the metronome will sound for a two-measure 
pre-count, and then recording will begin. 
Play the keyboard and move controllers such as the 
joystick to record your performance.

Recording will end, and the location will return to the 
point at which you begin recording.

If you press the PAUSE switch instead of the START/
STOP switch, recording will pause. When you press 
the PAUSE switch once again, recording will resume 
where you left off before pausing. When you are 
finished, press the START/STOP switch to stop 
recording.

The following recording setup parameters are also 
available. For details, please see PG page 137.

Select this method when you wish to add data to a 
previously-recorded track. (except for audio events)

If you use this method to record on a track on which 
data has already been recorded, the previously-
recorded data will remain, and the newly-recorded 
data will be added to it.

Select this method when you wish to use the 
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch or a foot switch to 
re-record selected portions of a previously-recorded 
track.
