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.
