Step Recording

Step Recording is a method of recording a song by manually entering notes one after another as data, instead of
playing the keyboard in real-time. This method may be useful when trying to create a phrase with a precise rhythm,
or when recording a phrase that is beyond your playing skill level.
To set up Step recording:
Step 1
In the Advanced Recorder menu select Step Rec.
The Step Record Stand-By menu will be displayed.
Step 2
Touch the screen to select options and use the Dial to adjust values.
REC TRACK : Selects the recording track.
REC SOUND : Selects which sound is assigned
to the track.
START BAR : Selects which measure you'd like
to start recording at.
Step 3
Touch the START button.
You will be presented with the data entry screen.
To use the Step Recorder:
Step 1
Touch the buttons and the bottom of the screen to select Note value, Note length, and Velocity, then use
the Dial to change its value.
The value will be displayed above the buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Velocity value can be entered by actually hitting a key on the keyboard. To enable this, select "Key" for the
Velocity value instead of a number.
MENU : Cancels Step recording and takes you to the
Advanced Recorder menu.
START : Proceeds to the data entry screen of the Step
Record menu.
B/M : Changes the time signature.
REC MODE : Selects the recording mode.
REPLACE erases the previous data
and records the new data in its place.
OVERDUB mixes the new data with the
previous data so that both are heard
together. Repeatedly pressing REC
MODE switches between the REPLACE
and OVERDUB.
