5.
Specify the note that you want to input. Use [ ] [ ] to select
the desired parameter.
Parameter Value Explanation
Note Type Note Specify the length of the notes that you want to in-
(p. 93) put, in terms of a note value.
The length of the note value indicates the
length from one note-on to the next note-on.
Gate Time 1– Specify the proportion of the gate time relative to
100% the Note Type.
The gate time is the length between note-on
and note-off. Specify a lower value if you want
the notes to be played staccato, or a higher val-
ue if you want the notes to be played tenuto, or
as a slur. Normally, you will set this to about
"80%."
Input Velo REAL, Specify the strength with which the note will be
1–127 played.
If you want this to be the strength with which
you actually pressed the key, select "REAL."
Otherwise, use settings of p (piano)=60, mf
(mezzo forte)=90, or f (forte)=120 as general
guidelines.
6.
Use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to make the setting.
7.
Press [F5] or [F6] to move to the desired input location, and
press a note on the keyboard.
When you press a key, the input position will advance by the
value of the Note Type you specified. The velocities are
displayed as a bar graph.
You can use the function buttons to perform the following operations.
Button Explanation
F1 (BAK DEL) Cancel the previously input note.
F2 (TIE) Extend the length of the previously input note by
the current setting.
F3 (UNTIE) Cancel the previously input TIE.
F4 (REST) Inputs a rest. First set the Note Type parameter to
a length that is the same as the rest you want to
input, and then press [F4 (REST)].
[SHIFT] + [F6 (VIEW)] Switches the type of display in the STEP REC
screen (Piano Roll ↔ Event List)
8.
Repeat the above steps to continue inputting.
The previous value of each parameter is remembered. This
means that if you want to use the same settings as the
previously input note, there is no need to change the settings.
Once you have set the Gate Time parameter and Input Velocity
parameter, it is not normally necessary to change them, so all
you have to do is set the Step Time parameter and specify the
pitch (note) of each note.
The note will not be finalized as long as you hold down the key.
This means that you will be able to modify the various
parameters of the note (Note Type, Gate Time, Input Velo).
9.
When you are finished step recording, press [STOP].
The [REC] indicator will go dark.
Recording a Song (MIDI Track)
Inputting a Chord
Press the chord. The cursor will move to the next step when you
release all keys.
Moving the input location
Pressing [F6 ( )] will move the input location forward by the current
Note Type value.
Pressing [F5 ( )] will move the input location backward by the
current Note Type value.
Moving the display region
Pressing [ ] [ ] will move the displayed region of notes upward
or downward.
The Relation between Note Value Length
and Gate Time
The relation between the length of the note value and the gate
time is shown below. Since the JUNO-G's song recorder uses a
TPQN (Ticks Per Quarter Note; i.e., resolution) of 480, a quarter
note gate time is 480 ticks.
Note
The gate time that is recorded in step recording will be the
original gate time value multiplied by the value of the Gate
Time parameter. For example, if the Gate Time parameter
is set to "80%," inputting a quarter note will mean that the
gate time is 480 x 0.8=384.
