4.4.2 Using STEP EDIT

Using STEP EDIT is simple:

1. Use the FAST FORWARD, REWIND, or LOCATE functions

to find the desired approximate location (or just play the

sequence until you hear the desired location, then press STOP);

2. Press STEP EDIT. The NOW field will change to the nearest

timing correct location (usually the nearest 1J16 note), and any

notes existing in the active track at that location will be

displayed on the screen.

3. You can now edit any of the data fields for any of the displayed

notes by moving the cursor to the desired field and editing it.

Also, any notes played will be recorded at this location and

immediately displayed on the screen.

4. To view other locations within the sequence, use the FAST

FORWARD, REWIND, or LOCATE functions, just as you

would while the PLAY/RECORD screen is displayed.

5. Once you're finished, press MAIN SCREEN to return to the

PLAY/RECORD screen.

NOTE 1: The "<" and ">" keys cause the current position of the sequence

to move backward or forward one 1/16 note (one "step"). To change this

distance, change the NOTE VALUE field in the TIMING CORRECT

screen.

NOTE 2: The STEP EDIT screen only displays notes which exist at the the

exact location displayed in the NOW field. This can sometimes cause

confusion. For example, in a sequence containing a series of 1/32 notes

playing a major scale, if you are stepping through the sequence one 1/16

note at a time by repeatedly pressing the ">" key, you will hear only the odd

numbered notes in the scale with each new key press- the even numbered

1/32 notes will be hidden between the 1/16 notes. In order to view all of the

1/32 notes, you must change the NOTE VALUE field in the TIMING

CORRECT screen to "1/32". Then you will view each successive 1/32 note

in the scale as you repeatedly press the ">" key.

NOTE 3: If the current SHUFFLE setting is other than 50%, pressing the

"<" and ">" keys will move to locations which fall on shuffled 1/16 notes. If

at this time you are editing a sequence which contains 1/16 notes recorded at

a shuffle setting of 50%, the even numbered 1/16 notes will NOT be heard

as you step through the sequence, because only notes existing in shuffled

1/16 note locations will be viewed. This same rule applies to the SHIFT

TIMING function- if the SHIFT AMOUNT field is set to "0" and you are

editing a sequence which was recorded while the SHIFT AMOUNT field

was set to any amount other than "0", none of the notes will be seen as you

step through the sequence, because these notes fall on shifted
