10.2.4 GRID RECORDING USING QUICK NOTE METHOD
This is yet another alternative way to enter note trigs in GRID RECORDING mode that gives you better
control over what note values you want to add to a specific step in the sequencer.
1. Press [T1–4] to select the track to which you want to add note trigs and additional notes.
A green [TRACK] key light indicates the active track.
2. Press [RECORD] to enter GRID RECORDING mode. The [RECORD] key lights up red to indicate
that GRID RECORDING mode is active.
3. Press and hold (keep holding until step 8 of this procedure) the [TRIG] key to where you want to
add, adjust or remove notes and then press [UP] or [DOWN] A graphic mini keyboard appears
at the top the screen. The leftmost number is the active note. The number in brackets shows the
number of notes on the sequencer step. Then follows the note value of the active note. A filled key
on the screen keyboard shows the active note and the other notes are shown as dots.

press [UP] or [DOWN] key to adjust the pitch one full octave up or down.

the desired note value.
6. Use the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] keys to navigate to a previously added note and then press [UP] or

10.2.5 LIVE RECORDING MODE
LIVE RECORDING mode is the second method of adding trigs to the tracks. In this recording mode,
the [KEYBOARD] and the [TRIG] keys are played in real time to input trigs to the tracks. You can also
turn the DATA ENTRY knobs to enter lock trigs with parameter locks in real time. Trigs input in LIVE
RECORDING mode can be automatically quantized or not. Use the settings in the QUANTIZE menu to
quantize non-quantized trigs after they are recorded. For more information, please see “10.7.1 QUAN-
TIZE” on page 37.
1. Press [T1–4] to select the track to which you want to add trigs. A green [TRACK] key light indi-
cates the active track.
2. Press and hold [RECORD], then press [PLAY] to enter LIVE RECORDING mode. If you quickly
press [PLAY] twice while keeping the [RECORD] key pressed, you activate/deactivate the quanti-
zation of LIVE RECORDING. The sequencer starts to play, and the [RECORD] key starts to
flash red.
3. Play the [KEYBOARD] or press the [TRIG] keys to enter trigs in real time. The key pressed deter-
mines the pitch value of the note trig. If you use the [KEYBOARD], the velocity is also recorded.
The sequencer also records all changes to the PARAMETER pages settings you make when you
turn the DATA ENTRY knobs as parameter locks and adds lock trigs accordingly.

CORDING mode is activated if you press [RECORD] while LIVE RECORDING mode is active.
