5.3.2.2. Step Record
In Step Record mode, the KeyStep Pro can record and playback music data. Originally
popular in the 1960s and '70s, step sequencers have become popular again due to the
increased interest in modular synthesizers.
A step sequencer is usually monophonic , meaning that it will output only one note at a time.
The KeyStep Pro sequencer, however, is capable of stacking up to 16 notes per sequence
step.
Step Record mode is the preferred way to quickly record sequences. Unlike Quick Record
(described above), where you have to manually select the steps you want to fill, in Step
Record mode you use the keys of the keyboard to step through the Pattern, advancing
automatically to the next step when you lift your finger from the keyboard. Press RECORD
to activate Step Record mode. The KeyStep Pro will jump to the first step of the Pattern and
wait for you to enter a note or notes. Start playing and notice how the steps fill. At the end
of the Pattern, the KeyStep Pro will loop back to the beginning and overwrite the notes you
played before.
Step Record has one other feature: you can backup in the sequence. To give an example:
you've pressed Record and have filled six steps by entering chords and lifting your fingers
from keyboard to advance a step. You can now backup in the sequence by pressing step
four and restart recording from there. When overdub is of the new notes you play will
replace the notes you've recorded in steps 4, 5 and 6.
