CSpecify the Required Gate Time ..."Gate Time" refers to the actual length of the note to be entered in relation GATE STEP TIME SIZE to the note's step size - i.e. whether the note is staccato, legato, etc. Gate times are specified as percentages of the total note length, as shown in the list below. Press the [GATE TIME] button and the current gate time will appear on the LCD display panel. Then use the [+] and [-] buttons, the number buttons, STEP QUANTIZE REC the data dial, or the [GATE TIME] button itself to select the required gate time (0% ... 100%). The "80%" gate time can be instantly selected by press- ing the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously.

You can then press the STEP FWD [STEP FWD (PLAY/STOP)] button while still holding the note or chord as many times as necessary to extend the length of the note or chord by the speci- fied step size. NOTES • When several notes are played simultaneously, all the notes will be recorded at one time as a chord after the last key pressed is released. This is a handy technique for the chord progression recording. • The BEAT indicator LEDs function in the same way as they do in the Auto Accompaniment mode.
