in
the
rhythm on
the
Main
Keys, just as
you
did
when playing the keys manually.
Remember,
you
are writing
one
bar
which
is
repeating.
*
The
shortest
timing value that can be
written
into
the
TR-707
is
16th note
(
J
).
Therefore,
if
you slow the
tempo
to
make
writing
easier,
you could
be surprised
at
the
result
when
you
change back
to
normal tempo.

If
you make
an error,
while the
rhythm
is still
running, hold
down
the Clear
Button

,
then
push the
Main
Key belonging to
that
voice
until
that voice
has disappeared.
Then
write that voice
again.
Even
if
you
make many
mistakes
at this
stage,
you
will
soon
find
it
comes
easier.

If
you wish to write accents, tap in
the
rhythm
on the
Accent
Key
9L
(
e
Enter Key),
just
as
you
did
in
the above procedure
®
.
Now,
the
weaker accents have been written.
To
write stronger accents, try
tapping
in
the exactly
same
timing
as
you have tapped.
Tapping once
again
in
the
same timing
will
change the accents
to weaker,
and
so
on.
Weaker
accent or
stronger accent can
be
dis-
tinguished
by
the
Display's response.
The
"•"
mark
flashes
when
weaker, and glows
steadily
when
stronger.
To
change from Step
Writing
mode
to
Tap
Writing
or
from
the
Tap
Writing
to the Step Writing
mode,
simply hold the
Shift
Key j& down,
and without
releasing
it,
push the Pattern
Mode
Button
$
.
This
mode
changing operation can
be done even
while
rhythm
is
running.
So,
if
you have
made
an
error
in
Tap Writing
mode, you
can immediately turn the
composer to the Step Write
mode
and
correct
the
error
without
affecting
any other
part
of the pattern
data.
To
the contrary,
you can add
a
more
compli-
cated
rhythm
in
the
Tap
Write
mode
to the pattern
entered
in
the Step Write
mode.
