Chapter 4: Editing Sequence

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, veloc-

ity, release velocity, and duration displayed numerically. The dura-

tion 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.
