MSet the note parameters
as required. Move the cursor to the note, velocity, and gate time parameters and
set as required using the [−1] and [+1] keys for the first (or next) note
to be entered.
DETAIL
The velocity and gate time settings in the step record
display correspond to the following numeric values in
the edit displays (to be described later):
Velocity “p”=56
“mf”=88
“f”= 120
Gate Time “Staccato”= 50% normal note length.
“Normal”= 90% normal note length.
“Slur”= 99% normal note length.
<Enter a note. Once the note parameter have been specified, the note can be en-
tered simply by playing the appropriate key on the micro-keyboard
(or on your external MIDI keyboard). A note symbol appears on the
note display and the note pointer advances to the next note position.
The note symbol always appears as a 1/4-note, regardless of the actual
note entered (chords are also indicated by the 1/4-note symbol).
Here’s how the display will look after two 8th notes have been en-
tered.
Note (32nd, 16th triplet,
16th, 8th triplet, 8th,
1/4 triplet, 1/4,
1/2 triplet, 1/2).
m
Gate time
(Staccato,
Normal, Slur).
Velocity
(p = soft,
mf = medium,
f = loud).
