channel that you want to play (→p.19).
3. Press the [STEP EDIT] key.
The step edit page will appear, where you can input and edit MIDI events. In the center of the display you
will see the event list that displays the MIDI events in the track.
A Track field: Selects the track into which you
step-record.
B Now field: Indicates the current location, and
lets you specify the location at which you
want to input a note event.

each MIDI event recorded in the track.
D View field: Here you can select the type of
MIDI events that will be displayed in the event
list.
4. Press the [F1] key (OPTION) to access the Step Edit Option popup window.
In this popup window you can set options for step-recording.
