Step Recording for Notes using the Event List The explanations here apply when you call up the EDIT page in step #4 of the Basic Procedure on page 116. The EDIT page contains the Event List, in which you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (pages 100 - 105), with the exception of the points listed below: • In the Song Creator, the End Mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed. This is because the length of the style is automatically fixed, depending on the selected section. For example, if you create a style based on a section of four measures length, the End Mark position is automatically set to the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step Recording display. • Recording channels (parts) can be changed in the Song Creator; however, they cannot be changed in the Style Creator. • In the Style Creator, only the channel events and System Exclusive messages can be entered. Chord and Lyrics events are not available. You can switch between the two types of Event Lists by pressing the LCD [F] button. 117 TYROS Owner's Manual 115
