3. Phrase Recording 3 STEP (Step Time)...[Knob 2], [SHIFT]+[F2] → Numeric Keypad [Settings] Settings made via the knob 0001 ~ 0059, 32nd note , 16th note triplet , 16th note , 8th note triplet , 8th note , 1/4 note triplet , 1/4 note , half note , whole note Settings made via the numeric keypad 0001 ~ 9999 clocks Specifies the length of the note or rest to be entered. When the PB or CC event type is selected this parameter specifies the step time: the size of the step the pointer will move to the next position after an event is entered. 4 VELOCITY.....[Knob 3], [SHIFT]+[F3] → Numeric Keypad [Settings] 001 ~ 127, RND1 ~ RND4 (random) Specifies the velocity value with which the note will be entered. The set value (1 ~ 127) corresponds to the MIDI velocity value entered. When one of the random settings is selected (RND1 ~ RND4) a random velocity value will be entered. RND1 ~ RND4 can be set by using [SHIFT] + [F3] → Numeric keypad to enter 128 ~ 131. 5 GATE TIME...[Knob 4], [SHIFT]+[F4] → Numeric Keypad [Settings] 001% ~ 200% Sets the gate time to produce slurs, staccato notes, etc. "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. NOTE There is no actual data representing rests. When a "rest" is entered the pointer simply moves ahead to the next data-entry position, effectively leaving a rest. 7 TIE F2] 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 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. 8 DELETE F3] Deletes all notes at the current pointer position. Use [Knob1] (POINTER) while holding [F3] to delete all notes at the pointer positions. 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 Knob3], [SHIFT]+[F3] → Numeric Keypad [Settings] When the EVENT TYPE is PITCH BEND -8192 ~ +8191, KEYBOARD When the EVENT TYPE is CC 000 ~ 127, KEYBOARD Sets the value of the data to be entered. When KEYBOARD is selected the value can directly entered via the RS7000 keyboard. [Procedure] When the EVENT TYPE is PITCH BEND The pitch bend values from -8192 through +8191 are assigned to the keyboard. Pressing the leftmost white key (E) while holding the [OCT UP] button enters ±0000, and each key to the right of this increases the value by 341 (semitone steps) until +8191 is reached at the high E key (the second from rightmost white key). 82 RS7000
