Editing With Step Write - Yamaha Electone EL-500 Owner's Manual

7) Editing with Step Write

To enter sounds with Step Write:
1
Raise the rhythm volume, and turn off all the Upper and Lower
keyboard voices by setting each section's volume to MIN.
2
Select the EDIT page with the Page buttons.
3
Select the percussion sound you wish to enter.
There are two ways to select percussion sounds in the Step Write mode:
[1] Press the key on the Upper or Lower keyboard that
corresponds to the sound. The instrument name automatically
appears at the top right of the LCD when the key is pressed. The
selected instrument is automatically assigned to an available
empty rhythm track.
[2] Use the leftmost Data Control buttons under the rhythm
track number to step through the available sixteen rhythm
tracks. The name of the instrument currently assigned to the
selected track is displayed at the top right of the LCD. (Since this
method allows you to select only from among the assigned
instruments, use the Change function described with the LCD
below to change instrument assignments.)
* This method is especially useful when editing an existing
rhythm, preset or user.
