Using the Song Sequencer

7.After everything is the way you want, press the R-16 (ENTER) button.

If the destination track does not contain recorded data, combination of the tracks starts immediately.

If the destination track already contains recorded data, the confirmation message shown below appears asking if you want to overwrite the existing data.

Press the R-14 (YES) button to perform the process and overwrite the existing track or the R-14 (NO) button to cancel.

Performing the above procedure does not clear the contents of the two source tracks. If you no longer need the content of a track, you can clear it using the procedure under “To clear a single track” (page E-85).

Editing Events

The song sequencer records all Digital Keyboard operations you perform while playing as “events”, which are the smallest unit of data that makes up a song. Playing a single note on the keyboard, for example, stores the following events: note start measure, beat, and track, note pitch, note length, and note intensity.

The following operations are supported during event editing.

Deleting events

Inserting events

Copying events within a specific range to a desired location

Quantizing* note events

Deleting pitch bender events

Adjusting note event velocity values

Adjusting note event gate time values

Selecting the type of events that appear on the Event Editor screen (View Select)

Inserting or deleting beat events

Directly inputting note events (step input)

*Quantize is an operation that automatically adjusts the note-on timing of a note event to match a reference note.
