In step recording the strength at which the keyboard is played is ignored.
6. Use the keyboard to input the notes while step recording. (Likewise, play a chord when inputting chords.)
All the keys that are played until their release are recorded together in the same step regardless of the actual
timing of playing the keys.
7.
Recording proceeds to the next step when all the keys are released. Repeat operations 3 through 6 as many
times as you want.
* When entering rests, recording proceeds to the next step by pressing rest ( [El ).
8. After finishing all step inputs, press the START/STOP key to complete the recording.

Step is forwarded as many times as set by the step time when pressing Rest ([El).
The note input in the previous step lengthens by the amount of the step time when pressing tie ( [QJ ).
There are two ways of inputting longer notes than the note value set by step time. One method is to
reset the note by step time and the other is to lengthen by using tie. The length of the note as determined
by each method is shown below:
When step time =112:
l-4 I .i I
80 % of 2 beats
When
lengthening by tie,
step time
= 1 /4:
I~ •II
1 beat 80 % of 1 beat
Tie can also be set while playing the keys, and the note becomes longer according to the amount of
step time. In this case, the tie affects only the played key's sound, making it possible to change chords
around the held key.

The step can be moved back as far as set by the step time when pressing step back ( [!!] ). Any notes
or steps starting from and occupying the space moved back to are deleted.

This is used not only for deleting mistakenly entered notes, but also used for inputting succeeding
notes; in such applications step back is used to shorten the step time.
