• SOFT KEY 1 (<Insert> or <Paste>):

This soft key has one of two functions, depending on the current setting

of the Function of soft key 1&2 field in the Step Edit Options screen

(described below):

1. <Insert>: When pressed, a new event is inserted at the current

sequence position. The type of event inserted is determined

by the Event to insert field in the Step Edit Options screen.

2. <Paste>: Pressing this key inserts a copy of the event last

removed from the track by using the <Cut> soft key. If the

<Cut> soft key has not been used since turning the power on,

nothing will be inserted.

• SOFT KEY 2 (<Delete> or <Cut>):

This soft key has one of two functions, depending on the current setting

of the Function of soft key 1&2 field in the Step Edit Options screen:

1. <Delete>: When pressed, the active event is deleted from the

screen. The active event is the event at the uppermost line of

the screen (preceded by the >).

2. <Cut>: When pressed, the active event is deleted from the

screen and saved internally. If the <Paste> soft key is then

pressed, a copy of that stored event will be inserted into the

screen.

• SOFT KEY 3 (<PlayEvent>):

Pressing this soft key causes the active event to be played. The active

event is the event at the uppermost line of the screen (preceded by the

>).

• SOFT KEY 4 (<Options>):

Pressing this soft key causes the Step Edit Options screen, described

later in this chapter, to appear.

Using Step Edit

To use Step Edit to edit recorded events:

1. Press STEP EDIT. The Now field will change to the nearest

step. A step is defined as a specific note timing value, 1/8

notes through 1/32 triplets, set in the Note value field in the

Timing Correct screen. Any notes or other MIDI events

existing in the active track at that location will be displayed on

the screen.

2. Use the REWIND, FAST FORWARD, or LOCATE keys to find

the desired location within the sequence. As in the

Play/Record screen, the [<<] and [>>] keys move to the

previous or next bar boundary and the [<] and [>] keys move

to the previous or next step within the active track. (It is also

possible to change the function of the [<] and [>] keys to

search forward or backward to the next event within the track.

This option is selected in the Step Edit Options screen.)

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

displayed events by moving the cursor to the desired field and

1 2 ... 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 ... 240 241
