Step Recording: Sequence Tracks (TR1,...,TR32)
5. Song Recording
8. If you make an incorrect entry, you can delete it as
follows.
• To delete the last note you entered, press 5
(BkDelete). The location pointer moves back to posi-
tion it had just before you entered the note.
• To delete some other note: Move the location pointer to
the note’s location and press 6 (Delete). All notes
that start at that position will be deleted.
9. When you have finished making your entries, press
s to terminate the recording and return to the SONG
PLAY screen.
• Under step recording, note registration occurs when you
release the key(s), rather than when you press them. This
makes it easy to enter a block chord: you can pick out the
notes one by one and then release them all at the same time.
• You may want to enter rough velocity values at this point
(using only f, p, and mp, for example). Y ou can then use one
of the song jobs (such as Crescendo or Modify Velocity) to
adjust the values later. (→ p.138)
• Step recording supports entry of note data only. You can
add other types of data using the SONG EDIT mode’s In-
sert function (→ p.133).
The remainder of this section describes the step recording param-
eters (the parameters displayed on the screen) and the use of the
m and s keys,.
• You use this method to create a recording one note at a time,
setting appropriate values for each note’s length, velocity,
and so on.
1. Starting from the SONG PLAY screen, press e.
▼The QY700 displays the Recording Standby page. The RE-
CORDING indicator comes on.
2. Press 6 (STEP) to select step recording.
3. Press u or d as necessary to se-
lect the sequence track you want to record on
(TR1,...,TR32).
4. Press p.
▼The PLAY indicator comes on. The QY700 displays the
step recording page for sequence-track recording.
5. Move the location pointer to the point where you want
to enter a note, using n/y, the data dial, or the
shuttle dial.
• To jump to a distant measure: Press d [D1] to move
the cursor to the location-setting area, then enter the meas-
ure number with the numeric keypad.
6. Set the step time, velocity, and gate time. To set each
value, press the corresponding key (d [D2] for
step time, d [D3] for velocity, d [D4] for gate
time) to move the cursor to the entry area, then enter
the value using the data dial, n/y, or numeric
keypad.
7. Now enter the note itself. You can select the note us-
ing either the microkeyboard or an external MIDI key-
board. If you want to enter a rest, press the m
key. If you want to enter a tie, press the s key.
