5.3.5 Recording Sequences
When you are ready to add notes to your sequence, you can do this in two ways. You can use the Note Input
Pads to manually add notes to steps, or you can record a performance from the pads into the sequence.
Note: You can add up to sixteen notes per step in a Drum sequence, and up to eight notes per step in a Note
sequence.
To manually add a note to the sequence:
1. Select a note pad from the bottom-left quadrant Note Input Pads.
2. Press a pad in the Step Pads.
The selected note will be added at the selected step.
To remove a note from the sequence, do either of the following:
• Select a note pad from the bottom-left quadrant Note Input Pads, and then press the Step Pad where you
want to remove the note.
• Use the Clear button, as described in the following section.
When inputting notes using the Note Input Pads, you can also create a tie so that a note is held over multiple
steps. This is not available when controlling a Drum Track.
To add a tied note that stretches over multiple steps, press and hold SHIFT and then press the pad or
pads adjacent to the step that you want tied. These pads will then be lit in white, and the note will be held
throughout the number of steps marked.
For instance, if you want to tie a note between Step 1 and Step 4, add the first note at Step 1, then press and
hold SHIFT and press the Steps 2, 3, and 4 pads.
Note: Tied notes will not be shown when viewing the sequence overview with no Note Input Pad selected.
To remove a tie, release SHIFT and press the tied pad so it is dimly lit again.
