5. Song Recording Location • The location area indicates the current position of the location pointer. The first number gives the measure, the second gives the beat, and the third gives the number of clock cycles following the beat (the clock count). • Note that each beat is divided into 480 clock cycles (000 to 479). A clock count of 000 indicates that the pointer is at the start of the beat; a value of 240 indicates that it is at the center of the beat. • You can use the location setting to jump the location pointer to a different measure, as described in the following procedure. 000 120 240 360 1. Press d [D1] to move the cursor into the location area. 2. Select the new location using the data dial, n/y, or the numeric keypad. Step Time • This parameter sets the step time for the next note to be input, clock cycles. • You can use the upper setting area to set the step time by note type. The easiest way to make this setting is by pressing the appropriate numeric key, as shown below. Note that after entering a note type (by pressing a key between [1] and [9]), you can change it into the corresponding dotted note by pressing [0] once. Or you can change it to a doubledotted note by pressing [0] twice. When you select the note type, the clock-cycle value (in the lower setting area) sets accordingly. 7 8 9 Quarter-note triplet Eighth-note triplet 16th-note triplet (320 cycles) (160 cycles) (80 cycles) 4 5 6 Eighth note 16th note (240 cycles) (120 cycles) 1 2 32nd note (60 cycles) 3 Whole note Half note Quarter note (1920 cycles) (960 cycles) (480 cycles) 0 Dotted note • The lower part of the step-time entry area sets the step time by clock cycles. You can set to any value from 0001 to 9999. If the input value matches the cycle length of any of the notes indicated above (or the corresponding dotted note), the note image will appear in the upper part of the entry area. 1. Press d [D2] to move the cursor to the upper part of the step time entry area. 2. To set the step time by note type, select the desired note image. You can make your selection using the data dial or n/y, or by pressing the appropriate note-image key on the numeric keypad. 3. If you want to set the step by number of cycles, press d [D2] again to move the cursor to the lower part of the area. 4. Set the cycle value, using the data dial, n/y, or the numeric keypad. 122 Chapter 2. SONG MODE
