(Record ready).) If not, simply press and release the

RECORD or OVERDUB key once while the sequence is

stopped.

2. While the sequence is playing, simultaneously press the

RECORD and PLAY keys. Record mode is now active, as

indicated by the light above the RECORD key.

To punch-out of Record mode, simply press the RECORD key once, and

the light above the RECORD key will turn off.

COMMENT: If Record mode is entered while the sequence is set

to loop to bar number1 (or a portion of the sequence is looped

with the Edit Loop function), Record mode automatically

switches to Overdub mode at the moment the sequence reaches

the end and starts to loop. This prevents accidental erasure of

any data that were recorded on the previous pass through the

loop. If, however, Record mode is entered while the sequence is

set to loop to a higher-numbered bar than bar 1, Record mode

will automatically be turned off at the moment the sequence

reaches the end and starts to loop.

COMMENT: If an empty sequence is selected (the sequence

name field shows “unused”), and either RECORD or OVERDUB

is pressed, the sequence will instantly be initialized using the

settings in the Initialize Sequence screen. This function is

normally accessed by pressing the ERASE key and selecting

<Initialize> (soft key 2).

• The REWIND [<<] and FAST FORWARD [>>] keys:

Use these two keys to change the current position within the sequence

to either the previous or next bar boundary. The actions of these keys

repeat when they are held.

• The REWIND [<] and FAST FORWARD [>] keys:

Use these two keys to move the current position within the sequence to

either the previous or next note boundary, as determined by the value in

the Note Value field of the Timing Correct screen (normally set to 1/16

NOTE). To change the amount of movement, simply change the setting

in this data field. The actions of these keys repeat when they are held.

While the Step Edit function is active, it is possible to set these keys to

an alternate function—to search to the previous or next event of a

specific type within the track. To learn how to do this, see the “Step Edit

Options” section in the “Editing Sequences” chapter of this manual.

• The LOCATE key:

This key is used to move instantly to a specific position within the active

sequence. When pressed, the following screen is displayed:

1 2 ... 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 ... 240 241
