5. Use the CURSOR ▲ and ▼ buttons to move

the cursor to the note position (dot) you are going to store.

•Each dot represents one-eighth of a quarter-note (a thirty- second note).

•When storing triplets, it may not be possible to match the timing exactly with the 1/32-note steps. However, if you select triplet-type notes for the note length (LENGTH) in step 6 below, the timing is automatically corrected.

6.Use the left REC NOTE LENGTH ∧ and ∨ buttons to specify the note value. Select from

3, , 3, , 3, , 3, , , , ⋅ 2 to 4. (A 3 denotes a triplet-type note.)

•For note values other than these, use the center REC NOTE LENGTH buttons to specify the note value to be added to that which you specified with the left buttons.

Example: To record a dotted quarter-note ( . )

+

7.Use the right REC NOTE LENGTH ∧ and ∨ buttons to specify the actual length of the pro- duced sound for the desired legato or staccato effect.

TENU (tenuto): Sound is produced for 95% of the note length.

NORM (normal): 80%

STAC (staccato): 50%

CUTT (cutting): 25%

playing the keyboard.

•The dot on the display where the note is stored changes to a * mark.

•When recording chords, you can store multiple notes at one position.

•Any panel setting changes—for example changes in the sound selection, button operation, etc.—are recorded at the cursor position.

•When the TEMPO/PROGRAM dial is operated, the input value is indicated on the display. Confirm that this is the correct value and press the YES button to record the value or the NO button to cancel it.

BAL:

To specify the volume at the cursor position, after pressing the BAL button, use the VALUE buttons to set the volume (0 to 127).
