❏ Settings: off, 60 (32nd note), 80 (16th note triplet), 120 (16th note), 160 (8th note triplet), 240 (8th note), 320 (1/4 note triplet), 480 (1/4 note) • Event This parameter is available when the Recording Type is set to "step." This lets you specify the event type to be entered. ❏ Settings: note, p.bend (pitch bend), CC#000~#119 (Control Change) • RecTrack Determines the track to be recorded. Pressing the [F6] button lets you switch between Single Track recording and All Track recording. ❏ Settings: tempo, scene, 1~16, multi • Tempo Determines the Song tempo. ❏ Settings: 001.0 ~300.0 Song Recording The explanations here apply to steps #6 - #7 of the Basic Procedure on page 183, page 184. ■ Realtime Recording See "Quick Start Guide" (page 110) ■ Step Recording If you press the [F] button in step #6 of the Basic Procedure on page 183, the following display appears and you can input the specified events one by one. ● Entering the Note Event When the event to be entered is set to "note" , you can input the note events one by one. Pointer indicating the current note position. Beat Graph • Beat Graph This is the display in which notes are "placed" during step recording.When the meter is 4/4, the display is divided into four beats (one measure). Each diamond-shaped marker in the display represents one 32nd beat (each 1/4 note division is divided into eight 32nd beats). For example, if the following rhythmic pattern " " is entered in 4/4 time, a display like the one shown below will appear. Song Record mode • Pointer Determines the data-entry position. The triangular pointer above the beat graph indicates the data-entry position. To move the pointer right or left, use the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons or the data dial. • Value When the event to be entered is set to "note" , this value specifies the velocity with which the note will be entered. ❏ Settings: 001~127 The set value (1 ~ 127) corresponds to the MIDI velocity value entered. RND1 ~RND4 When one of the random settings is selected, a random velocity value will be entered. • StepTime The "size" of the current recording step time for the next note to be entered. This determines to what position the pointer will advance after a note has been entered. ❏ Settings: 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 • GateTime 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. ❏ Settings: 001%~200% ● [F3] REST Press [F3] 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. n There is no actual data representing rests in the MIDI sequencer. When a "rest" is entered the pointer simply moves ahead to the next data-entry position, effectively leaving a rest. ● [F4] TIE When the [F4] button 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 [F4] is pressed, note 2 is entered.
