Set the Note Parameters as Required

Move the cursor to the note length, velocity, and gate time parameters and set as required.

When the cusor is located at the note length parameter the numeric keypad can be used to enter the note lengths marked on the keys. The dot key (the [0] key) can be used to add one or more dots to the currently selected note length. In-beween values can be entered using the [-1/NO]and [+1/YES] keys or the data dial.

When the cursor is located at the velocity parameter, the numeric keypad can be used to directly enter the dynamic values marked on the keys (pp, mf, etc.). In-between values can be entered using the [-1/NO]and [+1/YES] keys or the data dial.

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.
