ABOUT LAST
STEP
AND
SCALE
The
default
setting
is 4/4
time, shown
by
the
red
light at
the
left
side
of
the
chart. In this, the
lowest
of
the
four
chart
lines,
the 16
Main Keys are
shown
divided
into 1 bar of 4 crotchets,
therefore
the
value
represented
by
each
Main Key is a
semi-quaver,
or
1/1
6 note.

A
bar of
4/4
time
To
enter
the
Pattern other
than
above, such
as
3/4,
a
bar
consists
of 12
steps, so it
is necessary
to
change the total
step
number from
16 to 12.
(See

A
bar of 3/4
time
J
The
chart
line second from the
bottom
is
divided
into
half
a
bar
of two
crotchets, in
which
the 16
Main
Keys
represent a
demisemiquaver,
or
1/32
note.
Although
patterns
may
be
only half-a-bar
long, two patterns
may
be
chained
to
play consecu-
tively.
(See c.
Chaining
patterns
together
on
page
29.)
The
third
line
up on
the
chart
is
similar
to the first,
except for
three
beats (or
6)
in the
bar instead of
common
time.
The
fourth line
is similar
to
the
second line,
but
again
caters
for
3 or
6 beats in
the
bar.
The Scale
may
be set
to
any of
the lines.
(See
b.
Setting
Scale.)
The Pattern of
4/4
with
triplets also consists
of
12
steps.
If, however,
entering
the Pattern with
the
Scale set
to 4/4,
the
total
playing
time will be
three
quarter
of
the
common time.
So, it
is
necessary to
change
the
time of
each step.
(See
b.
Setting
Scale.)
The
Last
Step is set so that
js
and
J
=16,
^'
(simple)
and
J"'
(compound)
=
12.
