The Step Mode Function Keys
The four function keys immediately to the right of the dis-
play provide access to a number of handy functions in the step
record mode. The “del” key deletes the note or chord at the
note pointer. The “Bdl” key moves
the note pointer backward by the
currently selected note length and
deletes any notes that exist at that
location. The “rst” key enters a rest
of the currently selected note length
at the note pointer position. And the
“tie” key lengthens the previously
entered note by “tying” another note
of the same length and pitch to it
(the “tie” key only works immedi-
ately after entering a note).
Step back by current
note length and delete.
Enter a note of the same
length as the last note,
tied to the last note (this
effectively lengthens the
last note).
Enter rest of current
note length.
Delete note at note
pointer.

The Measure/Beat/Clock Display
The “Meas” area of the step record display shows the current
position of the note pointer in measures, 1/4-note beats, and
clocks (there are 96 clocks per 1/4 note). If you’re not sure
what measure you’re seeing on the note display while record-
ing, check the measure/beat/clock display.
