Chapter 7 Creating Styles
Even though the DR-3 comes with a great variety of styles, representing many genres, you can also create your own original styles. Such original styles are called “User styles.”
User styles have a “U” at the beginning of the style number, for example “U001.” You can create and store up to 100 User styles in the DR-3.
Procedure for Creating
Styles
Here are the steps you need to take to create a new style: fig.07-01
<1> Select a Number for the Style
You Are Creating
<2> Make the Settings for the New Style
- Set the Tempo
- Set the Beat
- Set Up the Drum Kit
- Set VARIATION [MUTE]
- Make the TSC Settings
- Determine the Number of Measures for Each Pattern
(These settings can be changed after the patterns are recorded.)
<3> Record the Patterns
(Realtime Recording/Step Recording)
- Record the Drum Part
- Record the Bass Part
- Change Dynamics to the Sounds (Velocity Edit)
- Transpose the Bass Part
<4> Check the Created Style
- Edit the Settings
<Finish the Style>
- Name the Style
There are two ways to record the patterns in Step <3> .
Realtime Recording
With this method, the key pads are played in time with a metronome count, with the pattern being recorded just as it is performed. Even if there is a little unevenness in the timing used in tapping the key pads, the Quantize function allows you to record
with the timing corrected. (Refer to step 3 on p. 65)
Step Recording
With this method, you “record” by specifying the timing (step), volume, etc., of each instrument sound, one at a time. This allows patterns to be recorded accurately, even those that are hard to record using Realtime Recording.
You can also record patterns using both Realtime and Step Recording.
After recording the basic pattern using Step
Recording, finish creating the Pattern by using
Realtime Recording to add sounds in a freer adlib style.
Convenient Functions for Creating Styles
You can speed up the process of creating a new style by first copying a Preset style, or the patterns in a Preset style to a User style, and then modifying that to create the new style.

Copying and Deleting Patterns (p. 72)
Creating Two-Measure Patterns from Four-Measure
Patterns
When you copy a four-measure pattern, and then, using
measures to “2,” it results in a pattern in which only the first two measures of the original pattern are played.
In this manner, you can use the setting described on p.
64 to create a pattern after copying a pattern that is
shorter than the one you start with.
Changing the Key of the Bass Part (Key Transpose)
After copying or recording a pattern, you can change the key of its bass part.

<3> Recording the Patterns
■
Using Realtime Recording
The following explains the Realtime Recording procedure, in which you record by pressing the pads in time with the tempo provided by the metronome.
* When you record to a pattern which has already been recorded, the sounds are layered without the previously recorded sounds being erased.
* You cannot record to the Preset Styles (P001–P100).
* The tempo, Sound Shape, and Ambience settings that are set at the time of recording are saved to the recorded pattern.
• Recording the Drum Part
* With the drum part, you cannot record multiple notes from the same pad number at the same step (timing).
Make sure you have pressed [MANU] to switch to Manual mode.
1.
Hold down [ ] and press any of the pattern pads to specify the pattern to be recorded.
The pattern pad flashes when pressed.
2.
Hold down STEP REC [ ] and press
START [ ].
STEP REC [ ] lights up, and START
[ ] flashes. Recording begins after one measure metronome count. The “MEAS-
BEAT” indication counts in time with the metronome count.
[INST] lights up, and the pads are enabled for performing instrument sounds.

4.
Press [INST] to select either “DRUM” or
“PERC” as the instrument to be recorded.
5.
Record the performance, pressing the pads while following the rhythm provided by the metronome.
The force used to tap the pads is recorded as velocity (the strength or stress of the sound).
Recorded sounds are played back repeatedly.
Sounds continue to be layered as the sounds that have already been recorded are played back.
6.
Repeat Steps 3–5 as needed.
7.
To stop recording, press STOP [ ].
Erasing Previously Recorded Sounds
As You Continue Recording
You can use the following procedure to erase specified instrument sounds in the pattern currently being recorded.
1.
Hold down STEP REC [ ] and press the pad to which the instrument whose sound you want to erase is assigned.
For example, when recording with “DRUM” selected for [INST], holding down STEP REC
[ ] and pressing [VERSE A (SNR 2)] erases the SNR 2 sounds that have already been recorded.

What is Quantize?
You can correct for timing discrepancies in a recorded performance by automatically aligning the music with the timing you specify. This is called “Quantizing.”

■
Using Step Recording
What is Step Recording?
This is a recording method whereby measures are divided into units called “steps,” and the timing of each sound to be played is specified.
The step length is set in “Quantize.” For example, if the value in Quantize is set to the eighth note, then when the time signature (beat) is set to 4/4, eight notes can be input in one measure.
When you press the pads while recording drum parts, one step length of the sound assigned to that pad will be input.
