•Event

This parameter is available when the Recording Type is set to “step.” This lets you specify the event type to be entered.

❏Settings: note, p.bend (pitch bend), CC#000~#119 (Control Change)

•RecTrack

Determines the track to be recorded.

Pressing the [F6] button lets you switch between Single Track recording and All Track recording.

❏ Settings: tempo, scene, 1~16, multi

•Tempo

Determines the Song tempo.

❏Settings: 001.0 ~300.0

Song Recording

The explanations here apply to steps #6 - #7 of the Basic Procedure on page 183, page 184.

■Realtime Recording

See “Quick Start Guide” (page 110)

■Step Recording

If you press the [F] button in step #6 of the Basic Procedure on page 183, the following display appears and you can input the specified events one by one.

●Entering the Note Event

When the event to be entered is set to “note” , you can input the note events one by one.

Pointer indicating the current note position.

Beat Graph

• Beat Graph

This is the display in which notes are “placed” during step recording.When the meter is 4/4, the display is divided into four beats (one measure). Each diamond-shaped marker in the display represents one 32nd beat (each 1/4 note division is divided into eight 32nd beats).

For example, if the following rhythmic pattern

“ ” is entered in 4/4 time, a display like the one shown below will appear.

Song Record mode

• Pointer

Determines the data-entry position.

The triangular pointer above the beat graph indicates the data-entry position.

To move the pointer right or left, use the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons or the data dial.

• Value

When the event to be entered is set to “note” , this value specifies the velocity with which the note will be entered.

❏Settings:

001~127

The set value (1 ~ 127) corresponds to the MIDI velocity value entered.

RND1 ~RND4

When one of the random settings is selected, a random velocity value will be entered.

•StepTime

The “size” of the current recording step time for the next note to be entered. This determines to what position the pointer will advance after a note has been entered.

❏Settings:

0001~0059

32nd note

 

16th note triplet

 

16th note

 

8th note triplet

1/4 note triplet

half note

 

whole note

• GateTime

 

Sets the gate time to produce slurs, staccato notes, etc.

 

“Gate time” refers to the actual length of time the note

 

mode

sounds. For the same 1/4 note, for example, a long gate

time will produce a slur while a short gate time will

produce a staccato effect.

Song

Gate time is indicated as a percent value of the step time.

A setting of 50% produces a staccato sound, values

Reference

between about 80% and 90% produce normal note length,

and a value of 99% will produce a slur.

❏ Settings: 001%~200%

 

● [F3] REST

 

Press [F3] to enter a rest as long as the specified step time.

 

The point will move ahead to the next data-entry position.

 

Rests do not appear on the display.

 

nThere is no actual data representing rests in the MIDI sequencer. When a “rest” is entered the pointer simply moves ahead to the next data-entry position, effectively leaving a rest.

●[F4] TIE

When the [F4] button is pressed to enter a tie, the preceding note is lengthened to the full step time. For example, in the following phrase, note 1 is entered with 1/4 note step time. If the step time is then changed to an 8th note and [F4] is pressed, note 2 is entered.
