Keys,
just
as you
did
when
playing
the keys
manually.
Remember,
you
are

one bar
which is
repeating.

The
shortest
timing
value that
can be
written
into
the
TR-707 is
16th note
(
J
).
Therefore,
if you
slow the
tempo to
make
writing easier,
you
could be
surprised at the
result
when you
change back to
normal tempo.

If
you
make
an

rhythm is still
running,
hold
down the

then
push
the
Main Key

voice until
that
voice
has
disappeared.
Then write

mistakes
at
this
stage, you
will soon
find
it
comes
easier.

If
you
wish to
write accents, tap
in the rhythm
on
the Accent
Key
9L
(
e
Enter Key), just as you
did in
the above
procedure

.
Now, the
weaker
accents have
been written. To
write
stronger accents,
try tapping
in
the exactly
same
timing
as
you
have tapped.
Tapping once
again in the same
timing will
change the accents
to
weaker,
and
so
on.
Weaker accent
or stronger accent
can be dis-
tinguished
by
the
Display's response. The
"•"
mark
flashes
when weaker, and glows steadily
when stronger.
To
change
from

or from the Tap Writing to
the
Step
Writing mode,
simply hold the
Shift
Key
j&
down, and without
releasing it,
push the Pattern Mode Button
$
. This
mode changing
operation
can be done even
while
rhythm is running. So,
if
you
have
made an error in
Tap
Writing mode,
you
can immediately turn the
composer
to the Step Write mode
and
correct the
error
without affecting any other part of
the
pattern
data.
To the contrary, you
can add
a
more compli-
cated
rhythm in the Tap Write
mode to the pattern
entered
in the
Step
Write
mode.
