Directly Inputting Note Events
(Step Input)
Step input is an event editor function. You can use step
input to specify the length and pitch of each individual
note (note event). You can also step input Auto
Accompaniment chords (chord events) into the MIDI
recorder system track.
In the case of the MZ-X500, you can also input chord
event steps into a pad that is assigned a chord
progression.
• Performing step input into a track that already
contains recorded data will not delete the existing
data. This means you can use step input to add to
existing recorded data.
To perform step input
1.
On the EVENT EDIT screen, select the event
that includes the measure where you want
input to start.
• For information about how to select an event, see "To
select an event for editing" (page EN-73).
2.
Touch "Step Rec".
• This starts step input from the beginning of the
measure of the selected event.
3.
Touch the note icon.
4.
Touch the note you want to use.
5.
Play the note you want to input on the
keyboard.
Note events are input during the note interval you
selected in step 4.

inputs a tie.
• Touching "Rest" without pressing a keyboard key
inputs a rest.

After you are finished inserting notes, touch
