4. Recording Original Phrases Step Recording Real-time recording is fine for many recording tasks, but if you want precise control over note placement, or are attempting to record a phrase that would be difficult to play on the keyboard in real time, the Step record mode is ideal. For full details on step recording see page 80. Here's a quick rundown of the procedure to give an idea of how it works. Step Record Procedure (Note Data) 1. Start from step 5 of the real-time record procedure described above, but select the "STEP" record mode instead of "REPLACE". 2. Use [Knob3] to select the type of data you want to record: notes, pitch bend, or control change. Since you want to record notes, make sure "NOTE" is selected. 3. Press [PLAY] and the Step Rec display will appear.

Each diamond-shaped marker corresponds to a 32nd note. The triangular pointer above the 32nd note markers indicates the current note position. Use [Knob 1] to move the pointer to the position at which you want to enter a note, [Knob 2] to set the note length, [Knob 3] to set the note velocity, and [Knob 4] to set the gate time. 5. Enter the note by pressing the appropriate key on the keyboard. In the step record mode notes are actually entered when the keys are released. So when entering chords be sure to press all notes you want to enter before releasing the keys. Press [F1] to enter a rest, or [F2] to enter a tie. The [F3] (DELETE) and [F4] (BACK DELETE) buttons can be used to delete entered notes. If you press the [PLAY] button the [PLAY] indicator will flash and you will be able to hear how your step-recorded phrase is shaping up. Press [STOP] to stop playback and continue entering notes in the step mode. 6. Stop recording and return to the PATTERN Play (or PATTERN Patch) mode by pressing the [STOP] button. 42 RS7000
