The Step Write Dot
Display
NOTE:
The
quantize
value
is
set
ONLY
when
a
clear
pattern
is
called
and
is
being
set
for
programming,
as
described
in
the
REAL
TIME
PATTERN
PRO-
GRAMMING
and
STEP
WRITE
PATTERN
PROGRAMMING
sections.
To
make
step
write
programming
of
patterns
easier
and
more
rapid,
the
RX21
features
a
Dot
Display
which
gives
a
visual
indication
of
each
instrument.
This
is
called
up
as
follows:
1.
Enter
the
step
write
mode
as
usual,
and
set
the
Length
and
Ouantize
Rate
as
previously
described.
Then
return
the
LCD
to
the
step
write
mode
display,
and
press
the
START
key
to
commence
step
write
programming.
2.
Press
the
STEP
WRITE
key,
and
the
LCD
display
will
switch
to
the
Dot
Display.

flashing cursor
In
the
above
example,
there
are
4
quarter
notes
to
the
bar,
indicated
by
the
vertical
pairs
of
small
dots.
The
quantize
rate
indicates
16
beats
to
the
bar,
each
one
indicated
by
a
dash.
The
cursor
flashes
over
the
first
dash,
prompting
you
to
enter
a
note
or
rest.
As
soon
as
you
play
any
instrument,
the
dash
for
that
beat
is
replaced
by
a
Note
Marker.
If
you
enter
a
rest
(using
the
+1/YES
key)
the
dash
for
that
beat
will
remain.
In
either
case,
the
flashing
cursor
will
move
forward
to
the
next
beat,
and
you
can
enter
another
note
or
rest.
The
Dot
Display
will
show
only
the
part
of
the
instrument
you
have
just
played.
Playing
another
instrument
will
immediately
change
the
Dot
Display
to
the
one
corresponding
to
the
new
instrument
(with
the
cursor
in
the
same
relative
position).
When
you
first
enter
the
Dot
Display
mode,
the
initial
Dot
Display
will
always
be
the
one
corresponding
to
Hi
Hat
Closed.
You
can
switch
the
Dot
Display
to
show
the
part
of
any
instrument,
without
entering
a note,
in
the
following
manner:
1.
Hold
down
the
TEMPO
button.
The
name
of
the
last
instrument
played
will
be
displayed
(this
includes
the
ACCENT
function
as
well
as
instrumental
names).
2.
To
switch
to
another
part,
continue
holding
the
TEMPO
button,
and
press
the
button
corresponding
to
the
new
instrument.
The
LCD
will
switch
to
indicate
the
name
of
the
new
instrument.
3.
When
you
release
the
TEMPO
key,
the
LCD
will
show
the
Dot
Display
cor-
responding
to
the
new
instrument.
The
cursor
will
NOT
have
moved
forward,
and
you
can
now
enter
more
notes
or
rests.
You
can
enter
the
Dot
Display
mode
at
any
time
during
step
write
programming,
as
long
as
you
have
already
pressed
the
START
key.
In
fact,
pressing
the
STEP
WRITE
button
switches
the
RX21
between
the
"PTN
Dp
:
BEAT
bb"
(normal
step
write
display)
and
the
Dot
Display.
