RECORDING SEGMENTS

Part 1: Standard Dimensioning

1.Set the time signature by pressing TIME SIGNATURE. The display will probably show the 04/4 default time signature and a cursor will be flashing under the first digit. There are three ways to enter the desired time signature numerator (number of beats per measure):

Press the Right Arrow button once to increase the numerator value by one. Hold the button down to increment through the tempo one digit at a time.

Press the Left Arrow button once to decrease the numerator value by one. Hold the button down to decrement through the tempo one digit at a time.

Use the keypad to enter the numerator directly. Leading zeroes must be entered.

2.When the display shows the desired time signature numerator press ENTER. The cursor will now flash under the first digit of the denominator (i.e. the rhythmic value of each beat in the measure); the default value is 4.

3.There are four denominator values: 4 (quarter note), 8 (eighth note), 16 (sixteenth note), and 32 (thirty-second note). Tap the Right Arrow key to step from longer to shorter rhythmic values; tap the Left Arrow key to step from shorter to longer rhythmic values (or hold the button to “fast forward”).

4.When the display shows the desired time signature denominator press ENTER. The time signature will now be stored with the segment.

5.To set the number of measures and beats in the segment (segment length), press SEGMENT LENGTH. The display will probably show the default value of 02 bars, 00 beats.

6.To increase the number of measures in a segment (up to 99), press Right Arrow. Tap this button to go forward a digit at time, or hold it down to “fast forward”. To decrease the number of measures in a segment, (down to 1), tap or hold Left Arrow. You may also use the keypad to enter the number of bars.

7.When the display shows the desired segment length, press ENTER. You may now select the number of additional beats in the segment.

8.To increase the number of additional beats in the segment (up to 99), press Right Arrow. Tap this button to go forward a digit at time, or hold it down to “fast forward”. To decrease the number of additional beats in the segment, (down to 1), tap or hold Left Arrow. Or, enter the number of additional beats with the keypad.

9.When the display shows the desired number of additional beats in the segment, press ENTER. Dimensioning is now complete. A segment cannot be re-dimensioned once it has been recorded.
