Enter a Note

Once the note parameters have been specified, the note can be entered simply by playing the appropriate key on the micro-keyboard (or on your external MIDI keyboard). A note symbol appears on the note display an 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 entered.

Chords can be entered simply by moving the note pointer back to a note and entering another note at the same location (this can be repeated as many times as necessary. See “Moving Around In the Note Display”, below.

The Note & Keyboard Displays

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.

The keyboard display shows the pitch(es) of the note(s) at the current note pointer position. In the example below the keyboard displays that a chord (C major) consisting of three notes exists at the current note pointer location.
