Step Time and Gate Time
In general, Step Time is the length from one note to the
next, and Gate Time is the duration that the note will
actually sound (i.e., the length from when the note is
pressed until it is released).
For example, if you are inputting 16th notes (Step
Time = 24) with Gate Time Ratio = 80%, the actual
Gate Time will be input as 19.

Various Ways to Input Notes
Inputting a chord
Hold down the notes that make up the chord, and
release all notes simultaneously. The chord will not be
input as long as even one note remains pressed, so you
can change notes to correct the chord.
Inputting a rest
Set the Step Time to the length of the desired rest, and
press [FWD/REST].

Inputting a tie
Input the first note that you wish to tie, and press
[BWD/TIE].

Applying a slide effect
By setting the Gate Time Ratio to 100% or more (for
example, to 105% for a 16th note phrase) and inputting
steps, you can input legato phrases. An easy way to
apply a slide effect is to use legato input in conjunc-
tion with a patch such as P:A18 or P:A27 which
applies a slide effect for notes that are played legato.
fig.8-35TEXT (#MC fig.10-40)
For the phrase which is applied a slide effect, you can
operate the [PORTA TIME] knob during playback to
control the depth of the slide effect.
For a patch that applies a slide effect for notes that are
played legato, set parameters as follows (p. 78).
Solo Switch: ON
Solo Legato Switch: ON
Portamento Switch: ON
Portamento Time: 5 – 20
Portamento Mode: LEGATO

Slide effect
Slide refers to a performance technique used on string
instruments such as guitar or bass, whereby after the
string is plucked, the fingers are slid to another fret
without picking a second time. This produces a
smooth transition between the pitches of the two
notes.

If you make a mistake during input
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [BWD/TIE] to delete
the note that was last input. At this time, the note that
was deleted will be sounded as confirmation.
