Now add the other instruments as you want, correcting them
as necessary
as you go along. When
you've finished, press
STOP/CONTINUE, and the display will return to the main PAT-
TERN mode menu. You can listen to your pattern by pressing
START.
Other ideas
instrument key will shift the pitch by the amount specified in the
PITCH
SHIFT operation. For interesting effects, try holding
down the REVERSE key with an instrument button to reverse the
instrument s sound. The EFFECT key works in the same way to
produce the sound which you set up in the EFFECT/DETUNE
and EFFECT EXPANSION
parts of the VOICE EDIT.
More than 12 Voices?
Since there are only 12 instrument keys on the RX8, you might
imagine that you're restricted to 12 instruments
in any one
pattern, but this isn't so at all. Even in the middle of recording
you can add instruments, so that the whole of the RX8's 43
instruments can be used in one pattern (in practice, of course, this
would be a little superfluous - most people don't want five snare
drums in one pattern!).
To sec how easy И is to add instruments, start Realtime recording
a pattern. with the instruments you've set up (basic kit plus
timbales and tambourine). Now let's say that we want to add a
cowbell to this collection. Without stopping the recording proc-
ess, press the VOICE

Now press the key to which you wish to assign the cowbell (say
the key to which you have already assigned the tambourine):

Use the - ИМО and +1/YES keys to select the cowbell. and the
VOICE EDIT sub-jobs to change the volume, pitch, etc.

NOTE:
While you are in the VOICE
ASSIGN
and VOICE
EDIT
modes, any presses of the instrument keys will not be re-
corded on the pattern.
To exit from the VOICE EDIT or VOICE ASSIGN modes back
to Realtime recording, press the JOB and 0 keys together. You
may now add the cowbell (at the quantization rate you were in
before you started to assign the new voice). If you want to change
the quantization rate, you will have to stop the recording process,
press the JOB+2 keys, re-set the quantization rate, and re-press
START.
Adding a bass line (the MULTI key)
Now we have a drums and percussion section for a verse pattern,
we can add the bass linc. To do this, press the MULTI key
