To insert a beat event

1.Perform steps 1 and 2 under “To delete a beat event” (page E-93).

2.Move the cursor to the beat event that comes immediately before the location where you want to insert a new beat event.

3.Press the C-9 (INSERT) button.

•This will insert a new beat event into the next measure after the cursor position you selected in step 2, which does not contain a beat event. If, for example, there are beat events already in measures 16 and 17, selecting the beat event in measure 16 with the cursor and pressing the C-9 (INSERT) button will insert a new beat event into measure 18.

4.Change the beat event measure and beat as required.

5.To return to the event editor screen, press the R-15 (EXIT) button.

Directly Inputting Note Events (Step Input)

Step input is an event editor function. You can use step input to specify the length and pitch of each individual note (note event). In the system track, you also can perform step input of Auto Accompaniment chords (chord events) as well.

•Performing step input into a track that already contains recorded data will not delete the existing data. This means you can use step input to add to existing recorded data.

1.Display the event editor screen of the track where you want to perform step input.

•See “To select a track for editing” (page E-85).

2.Press the C-12 (STEP) button.

•This will display a step screen like the one shown below. The cursor is always flashing during step input.
