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.

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.

and deletes the corresponding note or chord.

 

 

 

 

[F5] - “LoKey”
