Songs
A dotted note is obtained by pressing the selected note a second time.
A triplet is obtained by pressing the selected note a third time.
Return to the normal note by pressing the note once more.
A dotted note changes the step time by 3/2.
A triplet changes a note by 2/3.
4. Enter the note using the keyboard. To enter a Chord, simply press the chord.
Regardless of the timing with which each they are pressed, each note played until
released will be recorded at the same step.
Pressing a note on the keyboard shows the key on position (the song pointer), the
note name, the note on velocity, key off velocity (standard value 64) and the note
length.
5. When you release the note or notes, you advance to the next step.
Repeat steps 3 & 4 as many times as necessary.
To enter a Rest, simply press the ENT button. The rest will take the value of the
selected note.
If you make a mistake, use the Up/Down cursor arrows to select the entry one step
before the one to replace and enter the correct note. The note immediately after the
one selected will be deleted.
6. When you have finished recording, press REAL (F8) to return to realtime record
mode and press Start to listen to the playback of the recording.
NOTE: Step recording does not allow you to record control data. This type of data can
be introduced in real time into the recorded track, or by inserting it manually in the
Microscope and Master Track using the “Insert” function.
Step Recording is also discussed in the Programmable Style chapter, page 5-20.
Recording Pitch Bend, After Touch and Controller data
Pitch Bend and Aftertouch data are generated by the Track Ball and keyboard respec-
tively. Controller data is generated by appropriately programmed Pedals.
All three types of events are recorded into tracks in realtime record mode and can be seen
in the Microscope. They can also be inserted manually.
Multi-track recording
Multi-track recording (recording several tracks simultaneously) follows exactly the
same steps as described for single track recording, with the difference that you can select
two or more tracks to record in “’record-pending” status.
Tracks not recorded can be activated and played in real time with the Song in playback .
Note Lenths:
Each beat of a bar is
defined by the
sequencer resolution
which is 192 parts or
“ticks” per quarter.
Each note length, or
Step Time, is related to
the sequencer
resolution. Therefore,
the open note which
plays for one bar in 4/4
time has a step time of 4
x 192 = 768. The
quaver (the note with
one ‘tail’) has a step
time corresponding to
half a quarter note (192
÷ 2 = 96).
NOTE:
Aftertouch data
consume large amounts
of memory.
