2. Song Recording "Gate time" refers to the actual length of time the note sounds. For the same 1/4 note, for example, a long gate time will produce a slur while a short gate time will produce a staccato effect. Gate time is indicated as a percent value of the step time. A setting of 50% produces a staccato sound, values between about 80% and 90% produce normal note length, and a value of 99% will produce a slur. 6 REST F1] Press [F1] to enter a rest as long as the specified step time. The point will move ahead to the next data-entry position. Rests do not appear on the display. CC 000 ~ 127, KEYBOARD BPM 001.0 ~ 300.0 Sets the value of the data to be entered. When KEYBOARD is selected the value can directly entered via the RS7000 keyboard. [Procedure] VALUE entry procedure is the same as in the PATTERN mode (Page 82). Grid Step Recording NOTE There is no actual data representing rests. Like step recording, grid step recording allows notes to be When a "rest" is inserted the pointer simply recorded to a song track one at a time. With grid step recording, moves ahead to the next data-entry position, however, the pitch of the notes to be entered is specified first, and effectively leaving a rest. the data-entry position is specified via the keyboard. This method is particularly useful for entering drum patterns or sequences 7 TIE F2] which use several consecutive notes of the same pitch. 4 The Song Mode When [F2] is pressed to enter a tie the preceding note is lengthened to the full step time. For example, in the following phrase note 1 is entered with 1/4 note step time. If the step time is then changed to an 8th note and [F2] is pressed, note 2 is entered. 12 Record Procedure 1. Press [SONG] to enter the SONG Play mode. 2. Use [Knob 1] (SONG) to select the song to be recorded. 3. Press [REC] to engage the Rec Standby mode. Dotted notes can also be entered using the TIE function. To produce a dotted 1/4 note, for example, enter the step time to an 8th note, then press [F2] twice. 4. Use [Knob 1] (REC TRACK) to select the track to be recorded. 5. Press [MIXER] to access the Voice Select display and use [Knob 1] (BANK) and [Knob 3] (PROGRAM) to select the desired voice, then press [EXIT] to return to the Rec Standby display. 6. Use [Knob 2] (REC TYPE) to select the GRID record type. 8 DELETE F3] Deletes all notes at the current pointer position. Rotate [Knob 1] (POINTER) while holding [F3] to delete all events the pointer passes. 9 BACK DELETE F4] Moves the pointer backward by one step and deletes all notes at that location. NOTE Mistakenly entered notes can be erased by pressing [F4] immediately after they are entered (before changing the step time value). 0 VALUE Knob 3], [SHIFT]+[F3] → Numeric Keypad [Settings] PITCH BEND -8192 ~ +8191, KEYBOARD 7. Press [PLAY] and the Grid Step record display will appear. 8. Set the pitch of the notes to be entered via [Knob 1] (NOTE). If necessary also use [Knob 2] (GATE TIME) to set the gate time and [Knob 3] (VELOCITY) to set the note velocity. 9. Use the keyboard to specify the note-entry point on the grid. The grid divides a measure into 16th note divisions, and the 16 white keys on the keyboard correspond to each of these grid positions. The leftmost white key enters a note on the first beat of the measure, the 5th white key (B) enters a note right on the 2nd beat, and so on. A note is entered on the grid each time a white key is pressed and its indicator lights. Press the same white key a second time so that its indicator goes out to erase the note at that position. When the selected meter has more than 4 beats per measure (5/4, for example), notes from the 5th beat onward can be entered after pressing the [OCT UP] button. Press [OCT DOWN] to go back to beats 1 through 4. For example, this rhythmic pattern in 4/4 time can be entered as follows ( ). RS7000 189
