If you press the Function button of the selected note a second time, you will obtain
the dotted note:
Pressing the same button a third time obtains the triplet:
4. Now play on the keyboard and enter the first note. If you want to enter a chord,
simply press the required chord.
If your second note has the same value, press a second key on the keyboard.
Select another note type and enter your third note.
Continue in this way until you have entered all your notes for the Riff, for the
number of bars required or all those specified. When you reach “END SONG”, you
will not be able to proceed further.
Regardless of the timing with which they are pressed and for how long they are kept
pressed, each note will be recorded for its actual value in terms of length.
Pressing each note on the keyboard will show a string of values across the display
which relate to the song position, pitch name, velocity and, on the extreme right,
the note length, otherwise knows as the “Gate Time”. You can alter the value of
all the recorded parameters in the Microscope (see Microscope in Edit Sequencer
for more details). The display example below shows what you will see after
recording some notes:
Entering a rest
A rest can be entered by pressing ENTER during the Step recording - the rest will
take the value of the note selected. The presence of a rest is deduced by the Song
Pointer values.
For example, if two consecutive notes have been recorded with a rest in between,
each with the same step time of 96, and the relative Song Pointers show: “1 1 96”
and “1 3 96”. The rest will occupy Song position “1 2 96”.
5. At this point, you can listen to the playback of your recording by returning to real
time mode - press F8 (= REAL) - and press Start.
NOTE LENGTHS
The length of a note is
based on the bar
resolution which has a
standard value of 768
This value is also
known as the “Step
Time”.
The open note without
the stem - also known as
the “breve”, plays for
one bar in 4/4 time and
has a step time of 768:
all other notes are a
fraction of the open
note.
= 768
= 384
= 192
= 96
= 48
= 24
= 12
Adding a dot to a note
extends its length by
half as much, therefore,
each note displays the
following step times
when played:
= 1152
= 576
= 288
= 144
= 72
= 36
= 18
The “Triplet” changes
the step time by 2/3:
= 512
= 256
= 128
= 64
= 32
= 16
= 8
