Starting from the SONG PLAY screen, press e. w The QY700 displays the Recording Standby page. The RE- CORDING indicator comes on. 2. Press 6 (STEP) to select step recording. 3. Press u or d as necessary to select the sequence track you want to record on (TR1,...,TR32). 4. Press p. w The PLAY indicator comes on. The QY700 displays the step recording page for sequence-track recording. 5. Move the location pointer to the point where you want to enter a note, using n/y, the data dial, or the shuttle dial. • To jump to a distant measure: Press d [D1] to move the cursor to the location-setting area, then enter the measure number with the numeric keypad. 6. Set the step time, velocity, and gate time. To set each value, press the corresponding key (d [D2] for step time, d [D3] for velocity, d [D4] for gate time) to move the cursor to the entry area, then enter the value using the data dial, n/y, or numeric keypad. 7. Now enter the note itself. You can select the note using either the microkeyboard or an external MIDI keyboard. If you want to enter a rest, press the m key. If you want to enter a tie, press the s key. 8. If you make an incorrect entry, you can delete it as follows. • To delete the last note you entered, press 5 (BkDelete). The location pointer moves back to position it had just before you entered the note. • To delete some other note: Move the location pointer to the note's location and press 6 (Delete). All notes that start at that position will be deleted. 9. When you have finished making your entries, press s to terminate the recording and return to the SONG PLAY screen. • Under step recording, note registration occurs when you release the key(s), rather than when you press them. This makes it easy to enter a block chord: you can pick out the notes one by one and then release them all at the same time. • You may want to enter rough velocity values at this point (using only f, p, and mp, for example). You can then use one of the song jobs (such as Crescendo or Modify Velocity) to adjust the values later. (→ p.138) • Step recording supports entry of note data only. You can add other types of data using the SONG EDIT mode's Insert function (→ p.133). The remainder of this section describes the step recording parameters (the parameters displayed on the screen) and the use of the m and s keys,. 120 Chapter 2. SONG MODE
