The first two lines (a) are the latest inserted event. The last two lines (b) are the event currently in edit, ready to be inserted.

The “Empty” event marks the beginning of the pattern, when there are no events inserted. It is automatically inserted when entering the Record mode. It will be removed when an event is inserted.

5.The “Maaa.bb.ccc” parameter in (b) is the current posi- tion. This is the place where the note in edit will be inserted.

•If you don’t want to insert a note at this position, insert a rest instead, as shown in step 7.

•To jump to the next measure, filling the remaining beats with rests, press the >> button.

6.To change the step value, use the NOTE VALUE buttons, on the lower left area of the control panel.

7.Insert a note, rest or chord at the current position.

•To insert a single note, just play it on the keyboard. The inserted note length will match the step length. You may change the velocity and relative duration of the note, by editing the V (Velocity) and D (Duration) parameters. See “V (Velocity)” and “D (Duration)” on page 57.

•To insert a rest, just press the REST button. Its length will match the step value.

•To tie the note to be inserted to the previous one, press the TIE button. A note will be inserted, tied to the previ- ous one, with exactly the same name. You don’t need to play it on the keyboard again.

•To insert a chord or a second voice, see “Chords and second voices in Step Record mode” below.

Any note exceeding the pattern length, inserted at its end, will be reduced to fit the total length of the pattern.
