Recording Notes One at a
Time (Step Recording)
Step Recording allows you to record notes one at a
time. This method is a convenient way to enter notes
for which accurate timing is essential, such as percus-
sion instruments or bass.
Only note messages can be recorded using step
recording.
The following two methods of step recording can be
used. Use each method as appropriate.
Step recording 1
Enter notes successively as you specify the location of
each note. This method does not let you hear the per-
formance as you record.

Step recording 2
Select a note to be input, and while listening to the
performance, specify locations on a grid where you
wish to place that note. When used for the rhythm
part, this method is suitable for drum recording, since
it allows you to input notes for each rhythm tone sepa-
rately. Even for parts 1–7, you can create sequenced
phrases easily while listening to the performance.

In addition to the above two methods of recording,
there is a Microscope function that lets you modify the
notes that you input. During recording, you can move
freely between the step input page and the Microscope
page.

wish to record a new pattern, select TMP (temporary
pattern). If you wish to re-record a preset pattern, etc.,
select that pattern.
* If data has already been recorded in the temporary pat-
tern, use the Pattern Initialize operation to clear the tem-
porary pattern of all data.

“Clock” is a unit of timing that indicates the location
of a note. On the JX-305, one clock is 1/96th of a quar-
ter note.
