10.2.5 Quantizing while Recording
 
You can choose to have notes automatically quantized as you record. This is called Input Quan-
tization.
You  can  also  quantize  recorded  notes  at  any  time.  See  section  ↑10.4.7,  Quantizing
Events/Notes for more information.
10.3 Recording Patterns with the Step Sequencer
 
If you are familiar with classic drum machines you may want to program your Pattern using the
step sequencer.
10.3.1 Step Mode Basics
 
On your controller the step sequencer is available via the Step mode. The Step mode allows you
to program the steps to be played by the focused Sound in the current Group.
1. Press STEP to switch your controller to Step mode.
2. Move the 4-D encoder up or down to select a Sound.
Step mode is a submode of Event Edit mode available on the PATTERN page of Arrange mode
(see  section  ↑10.4.4,  Editing  Selected  Events/Notes  for  more  information  on  the  Event  Edit
mode). Hence, it is very similar to the Event Edit mode.
The main difference with the Event Edit mode is that in Step mode each pad of your controller
represents one  step  of a  16-step  sequence  for the  focused  Sound.  The  size  of  the steps  de-
pends on the current Step Grid settings. Lit pads indicate events on the corresponding steps.
For  more  information  on  the  Step  Grid,  see  section  ↑10.1.7,  Adjusting  the  Step  Grid
and the Nudge Grid.
The displays of your controller show the following:
