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

above, except that all event types except

the event displayed

to the right of the words ALL EXCEPT are displayed.

Step Recording

Step Edit also makes it possible to record new notes from a MIDI

keyboard while the sequence is not playing. To record a note while in

Step Edit mode, move to the desired position within the sequence, then

play and release the desired note on the MIDI keyboard. This note will

then appear as the new active event, with its pitch, velocity, release

velocity, and duration displayed numerically. The duration of the note is

taken from the actual duration played, relative to the current tempo.

However, if the Duration of recorded notes field in the Step Edit Options

screen is set to SAME AS STEP, The duration always defaults to the

current step value.

If the Auto step increment on key release field in the Step Edit Options

screen is set to YES, the current position within the sequence will

automatically advance one step forward when the newly recorded note

(or chord) is released. This allow you to, for example, record a series of

notes (or chords) one at a time while stopped, and automatically play

them back with evenly spaced timing. To do this:

1. Set up your sequence and track for recording from your MIDI

keyboard as you would to record in real time.

2. In the Timing Correct screen, set the Note value field to the

desired step value.

3. Rewind to the start of the sequence.

4. Press STEP EDIT.

5. Press SOFT KEY 4, <Options>.

6. Set the Auto step increment on key release field to YES.

7. Press STEP EDIT again.

8. Play a series of notes (or chords), one at a time.

9. Press PLAY START. The notes you have just entered will play

back with evenly spaced timing.
