Grid Recording

Grid recording allows you to lay out notes along a pre-defined grid. This is a
very visual way to lay down a beat and it makes it easy to experiment, since
you can change everything by just turning buttons on and off. PX-7 brings
a host of new features to the party.

What is Grid Recording?

Grid recording can be visualized as a series of notes placed along a line
where each note can be turned On or Off with a button. In the example
below, you'll hear sixteen notes to a measure in 4/4 time.

To program quarter notes, you would turn on one note out of every four as
shown below.

Turning on every other button with the 16th note grid selected gives you
Eighth notes.
