6Creating Original Patterns
The Note Display
The note display shows up to four 1/4-notes worth
of data at once (that’s one measure in 4/4 time). If the
selected time signature results in more than four 1/4
notes per measure, then the display will scroll to show
the extra notes. On the other hand, if the time signa-
ture is 3/4, then the 4th beat is not used and appears as
double dashes on the display (“========”).
Moving Around In the Note Display
You can move the cursor down to the note display
(the note pointer will appear filled) and move the note
pointer to any position at which you want to enter a
note, or to any note that you want to delete. You will
actually hear the appropriate note or chord when the
note pointer is moved to an existing note symbol.
When you move the note pointer past the end of the
note display, the next measure will appear. If you
move past the last measure in the pattern, the first
measure of the pattern will appear.
