3. Set "From Measure" to 001.
With this setting, step recording will begin from
measure 1.
4. Press the menu button, and press menu command
"Step Recording."
A dialog box will appear.
5. In "Step Time," use "Select" to specify the basic

You can choose a note value ranging from a whole note
( ) to a 32nd note ( ).
Input a dotted note by selecting "." with the popup
buttons at right.
You can specify "3" to input a triplet. If you want to use
the unmodified length of the note that's selected at the
left, choose "–".
"Note Duration" indicates the length that the note
itself will sound. Smaller values will produce a staccato
note, and larger values will produce a legato note. For
this example, leave this setting unchanged.
"Note Velocity" is the velocity (playing strength), and
larger values will produce a louder volume. Set this to
Key.
If you select Key for this parameter, the velocity of how
you actually play the keyboard will be input.
6. On the keyboard, press and then release the first
C3 note that you want to input.
The data you input will appear in the display as
numerical values. On the upper right side, Measure
001 Beat Tick 01.000 will change to Measure 001 Beat
Tick 01.360. The next note you input will be placed at
this location.

7. As described in steps 5 and 6, input the notes and
rests that follow the first C3 note.
In addition to the methods described in steps 5 and 6,
you can also use the following input methods.
• To input a rest, press the Rest button. This will
input a rest of the selected Step Time value.
• To enter a tie, so that two or more notes of the same
pitch will be played as a single unbroken note,
press the Tie button. When you press the Tie
button, the previously‐input note will be extended
by the Step Time length.
• To delete a note or rest that you input, press the
Step Back button. The previously‐input note will be
deleted.
• To input a chord, simultaneously press the notes of
the desired chord. Even if you do not press them
simultaneously, notes that are pressed before you
fully remove your hand from all keys on the
keyboard will be input at the same location.
• To audition a note without actually inputting it,
press the PAUSE ( ) button. Now when you play a
note on the keyboard, it will sound, but the note
will not be actually input. In this state, playing a
key will produce a sound, but will not input a note.
Press the PAUSE ( ) button once again to cancel
the record‐pause state, and resume inputting notes.

button.
Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP (
to play back.

check Track Play Loop for track 02, set Loop Start

02 will play measures 1–2 repeatedly.
9. If you're not satisfied with the result, press the
COMPARE button to return to the state prior to
recording, and then re‐record from step 4.
When you begin step recording, all data in the
track that follows the measure where you began
recording will be erased. You need to be aware of
this if you begin step recording from a measure
mid‐way through the song.
If you want to copy data into a measure that
already contains data, perform step recording in
an empty track, and use the Move Measure or
Copy Measure menu commands. (See page 179 of
the Parameter Guide)
If you want to edit or add to the recorded data, you
can use the Event Edit or Piano Roll function. (See
pages 169, 171 of the Parameter Guide)
