15: P–STEP SEQ (Step Sequencer)
Here you can adjust settings for the step sequencer that are used by
the program.
15–1: BASIC
Program [000...(050)]
Here you can select the drum program that will be used by the step
sequencer.
Note: Only drum programs can be selected.
If the specified number is no longer a drum program because
PCG data was loaded or SysEX data was received, it will be
replaced by the first drum program.
The step sequencer program will not transmit or receive
MIDI program changes.
(Tempo) [40.00... 300.00, EXT]
See “ (Tempo)” on page 2.
Resolution [ , , , , , , , ]
Specifies the timing resolution of the step sequencer. The notes of
the pattern will be played at the interval you specify: , , , ,
, , , or . The speed of the step sequuencer is determined
by the (Tempo) and the Resolution.
Lgth (Length) [01...64]
Specifies the number of steps to play; in other words, the length of
the pattern. Playback will repeat in the range of these steps.
Step/Bt (Steps per Beat for Swing) [x1, x2, x4]
Specifies the steps where the swing effect will be applied. The
amount of the swing effect is specified by the P–STEP SEQ>
MOD page Swing parameter.
x1: Swing will be applied to the even-numbered steps 2, 4, 6, 8 ...
x2: Swing will be applied to steps 3, 7, 11, 15 ... For example if
you set Resolution to and enter an 8-beat rhythm, the swing
effect will be applied to the 8-beat.
x4: Swing will be applied to steps 5, 13, 21, 29 ... For example if
you set Resolution to and enter an 8-beat rhythm, the swing
effect will be applied to the 8-beat.
