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.
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 sym- bol. 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 phrase, the first measure of the phrase will appear.
The Step Mode Function Keys
The six function keys immediately below the display provide access to a number of handy functions in the step record mode.
| [F1] - “Rest” | Enters a rest of the currently selected note length at the note pointer |
|
| position. |
|
|
|
| [F2] - “Tie” | Lengthens the previously entered note by “tying” another note of the |
|
| same length and pitch to it (the “tie” key only works immediately after |
|
| entering a note). |
|
|
|
| [F3] - “Delete” | Deletes the note or chord at the note pointer. |
|
|
|
| [F4] - “BkDelt” | Moves the note pointer backward by the currently selected note length |
|
| and deletes the corresponding note or chord. |
|
|
|
| [F5] - “LoKey” | Displays the lowest range of the keyboard (scrolls the keyboard display two |
|
| octaves to the right). Press again to return to the normal “centered” display. |
|
|
