is defeated.

• The DURATION OF RECORDED NOTES field: This field is

used to determine the method by which durations are assigned to

notes recorded from the midi keyboard while in STEP EDIT

mode. This is a choice field and has 2 options: SAME AS STEP

and AS PLAYED:

1. If set to SAME AS STEP, durations are always four clocks

less than the current step size (the current NOTE VALUE

field setting in the TIMING CORRECT screen).

2. If set to AS PLAYED, the actual time the note is held

(relative to the current tempo) is used for the duration value,

even though the sequence is not playing. To guide your

timing, if a key is held down more than one 1/4 note, a

metronome click plays exactly one 1/4 note after the key is

depressed, and plays again for each additional 1/4 note the

key is held down. For example, if you wanted to record a

note with a duration of one 1/2 note, you would play the key

and release it after 2 clicks were heard.

• The STEP EDIT DISPLAY FILTER section: This is a "filter"

similar to the erase filter or the midi input filter, except this one

controls which types of midi events existing in the track get

displayed in the step edit screen. For example, if the only events you

wanted to edit were pitch bend messages, it would be bothersome to

have to view all the other events. Another example would be to

filter out all continuous controller data to make it easier to view only

the notes.

To use the display filter, move the cursor to the VIEW field. This

is a choice field with 3 options:

1. ALL EVENTS: If this option is selected, all

possible event types will be displayed.

2. ONLY VIEW: If this option is selected, only one event

type may be displayed, and the type of event to be

displayed is selected in a new field appearing directly to

the right on the same line. In this rightmost field, all

event types are listed, including all 128 midi controllers,

each individually named as listed in the "Midi 1.0

Detailed Specification, Document Revision 4.0".

3. ALL EXCEPT: This option is similar to ONLY VIEW,

above, except that all event types except

the event

displayed to the right of the words ALL EXCEPT are

displayed.
