Inputting Chords; If You're Not Satisfied With The Recorded Result - Roland MV-8000 Owner's Manual

Creating a song (Song Recording)
you actually struck the pad to be input as the velocity data, set this to "Real." If you
want to input a fixed velocity value, set this as desired; as a guideline, p (piano) = 60,
mf (mezzo-forte) = 90, and f (forte) = 120.

Strike .
When you strike a pad, data will be input and length
specified by the Step Time will forward. The input
data as a bar (length specified by the duration) and as
a bar graph (velocity).
During step recording, you can temporarily pause step
recording by pressing [REC] to make the indicator blink
("rehearsal mode"). In this state, striking the pads will not cause data to be recorded. This is
useful when you want to check the sounds you are using, or when you want to practice.

If you're not satisfied with the recorded result

If you're not satisfied with the results of the step recording you just performed, you can
press UNDO/REDO to return to the state prior to recording. Refer to Undoing a
recording or editing operation (Undo) (p. 80).
The (-) direction will widen (zoom-out) the displayed area. This lets you see all of the

You can use CURSOR
(up/down) to move the
displayed area up or down.
You can use [SHIFT] +
CURSOR to zoom-in or
zoom-out the input data
display. The (+) direction will
narrow (zoom-in) the
displayed area. It's convenient
to zoom-in on a specific area if
you've input numerous
closely-spaced notes.
Each parameter will maintain
the value that was most
recently input. If you want the
next note to have the same
settings, there's no need to
change them. In other words,
once you've set the Duration
and Velocity parameters, you
can usually leave them
unchanged, and simply use the
Step Time parameter and the
note pitch (pad) to continue
inputting notes.
