Step Record

STEP RECORD is simply a method of making a tune by storing the sounds note-by-note on the display. Instead of playing the
keyboard directly as in the REALTIME RECORD mode, you can take your time to input each single note. This is an especially
effective method for storing complicated passages that are difficult to play or when the exact timing of a part is critical.
