■Beat Graph
The Beat Graph lets you confirm and set the note
input location within a measure. One small dash “-”
indicates the length of a 32nd note. Therefore eight
dashes “-” will equal to the length of a quarter note,
and 32 dashes “-” will equal to the length of a whole
note. For example in 4/4 time, 32 dashes “-” indicate
the length of one measure. The Beat location is
indicated with a short vertical line.
When you enter a note using the keyboard, the ↓
cursor will advance by the length of the input note.
You can use the vertical cursor keys to move the ↓
cursor to select the input location. ●mark will be
displayed on “-” at the location where the note is
being input.
The Step recording screen may differ depending on
the currently selected time signature.

When set to 5/4 time. A measure requires two screens.
