The Step Editor allows for nonreal-time entry of note events and rests of varying durations and
attack velocities at any location within a song. The Step Editor can be used to enter the Þrst note
events into a new song, but it will not set the songÕs End point. Initial program changes, volume
and pan settings are remembered as if you recorded the Þrst track using one of the real-time
recording modes. The End point will be modiÞed if tracks already containing data are
step-edited beyond the current End point.
The top line displays the currently selected RecTrk and can then be switched to any other track.
When All tracks are selected, the step edits are performed on the currently selected RecTrk.
Recording With the Step Editor
Recording using the Step Editor is easy. Set the parameters to your desired settings and make
sure the Locate parameter is set to the bar and beat at which you wish to start recording. Then
just strike a key. The note you play will be displayed in the box on the right along with its
velocity or duration. If the Velocity parameter is set to Played, then it will reßect the actual
velocity you played. Otherwise, it will be speciÞc amount determined by that parameter. The
duration of the note is determined by a combination of the Duration and Gate Time parameters.
Once you release the key, the Locate parameter will advance in time, by an amount determined
by the Duration parameter. If you want to enter a rest, press the Step> soft button without
striking a key, and once again the Locate parameter will advance the selected amount.
You can enter note events longer than the selected duration by holding a key and pressing the
Step> button. You will see the duration of the current note change in the box on the right. This
can be a quicker method of entry than changing the Duration parameter if you need a note that
is twice or three times as long as the duration. For example, if the Duration is set to 1/8, you can
quickly enter a quarter note by holding the note and pressing Step> once. This adds an extra
eighth-note duration to the eighth-note duration created by triggering the note. Enter a half note
by pressing the Step> button three times (adding three eighth-noted durations). Note that if you
are using this method and the Gate Time parameter is set to less than 100%, the truncated
duration is applied to the step created by triggering the note. All other steps get the full
