Sequencing Harmonies in Step Time
1. On the HARMONY ALGORITHM VIEW screen, press F4 (StpEdt)—the
HARMONY STEP EDIT (NOTE) screen appears.
On this screen, you can enter Harmony notes, one-by-one.
2. Set SOLO as desired. You can choose:
• Off —all channels play normally.
• On —only the harmonies and source track are heard.
3. Set INPUT MODE as desired. You can choose:
• NOTE —to enter single notes at the selected step.
• Chrd —to enter chords at the selected step.
4. Set STEP to the amount by which you want the now line to move forward after you
enter the first note or chord. You can select 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/2T (for
“Triplet”), 1/4T, 1/8T, 1/16T, 1/2D (for “dotted”), 1/4D, 1/8D, 1/16D, 1/32D notes.
5. Set DURATION to the desired length of the first note or chord. You can select Step,
so that the note is the same length as the STEP value, or 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32,
1/2T (for “Triplet”), 1/4T, 1/8T, 1/16T, 1/2D (for “dotted”), 1/4D, 1/8D, 1/16D, 1/32D
notes.
6. Play the desired note or chord on the appropriate TRACK/STATUS button or MIDI
keyboard controller key—the now line moves forward by the amount specified in
Step 4.
7. Reset STEP and DURATION for the next note or chord you wish to enter.
8. Play the next note or chord.
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 until the entire harmony has been entered.
Other Step Time Tools
• Press F1 (TIE) so the now line moves to the next step, lengthening the most nearby
note so that it reaches the new position of the now line.
•To insert a rest between notes, set STEP to the desired value and hit F2 (REST).
• Press F3 (BckStp) to move the now line back by the STEP amount and shorten the
nearest note so that it ends at the now line’s new position.
•To delete a note or chord at the now line’s current location, press F4 (DELETE).
Since it works with measures and beats, step editing works best when your project has
been recorded using a tempo map, or when you’ve added one. See “Working with a
Tempo Map” on Page 296.
To undo your last entry, press F5 (UNDO). To change your mind, press F5 (REDO).
You can edit your sequence as described in “Editing a Harmony Sequence” on
Page 339.
