RECORDING SEGMENTS

Part 2: Real-Time Dimensioning

Real-time dimensioning mode is useful when you want a segment’s length to be other than some number of whole measures and beats (i.e. if you wanted 2 measures, 1 beat, and just a tiny bit more).

1.Press SEGMENT LENGTH then press RUN/STOP; the metronome will click and the display will count off the beats and measures as they go by.

2.After the appropriate number of beats and measures have gone by, press RUN/STOP a second time. If you do not press RUN/STOP precisely on the beat, it will be auto corrected by the SP-12 (see next section for more information on Auto Correct).

3.If you miss the desired end point of the segment, hit RUN/STOP again to re- start the process. Press RUN/STOP again when the segment is the desired length. Also note that you can edit this setting (until the segment is recorded) by using the Right Arrow, Left Arrow, and keypad buttons (this works similarly to step 8 in Part 1).

Note: If you dimension to more than an even beat (for example, 2 bars, 1 beat, and an eighth note), the display will indicate a + sign.
