SPECIAL
NOTE: SINGLE STEP RECORDING
Real-Time recording should present no problems, even for novices in
sequencer operation
1
but there is an i•portant point concerning Single
Step recording. As we mentioned above, the yellow "ENTER" button is
used to store each 'step' in memory, before proceeding to the next. It
is important that you hold each note, only releasing the key after
pressing the "ENTER• button to complete the step.
Why?
Although
pressing and releasing a key within the same step will generate the
required ~Note On" and nNote Off" commands, they will fall at the
exact same point in the sequencer's memory and thus cancel each other
out! Not quite what you had in mind,
was it?
Single Step Hode really
$eans just that: each and every single event must be recorded
separately,

FUNCTION 28 [AUTO CORRECT/STEP
VALUE]
When recording in Real-Time mode ("rt" in the previous para~eter>, you
can have the MASTER KEYBOARD correct your timing auto~atically, (Those
of you used to working with Dru~ Machines Hill know thi~ AUTO CORRECT
function as 'QUANTIZE'), ln FUNCTION 2B you set the STEP VALUE that
the sequencer will use to correct imprecise timing in real-tiMe
recording; this value divides each bar into a given number of ·steps·.
Using the AUTO CORRECT function ensures that any notes played a bit
early or late while recording will be 'moved' {or 'rounded off') to
the nearest step.
The default value here is "16"
1
"hich rounds off imprecise timing in
16 steps to each bar. Use the
•+1-n
buttons to change the STEP VALUE
{shown in the RIGHT display), Your options are the numeric values ~4",
na•,
~12MI n16rtl a24" and ~32";
Or
to eliminate the quantization
effect
by
selecting free play (shown as "Fr" in the display), which
records in
96
·steps to the bar and thus makes any rounding inaudible!
The
above
AUTO
CORRECT function only applies to sequences recorded in
real-time mode, but the STEP VALUE you choose will also determine the
size of each step in single step recording.
