Press the track or pad button corresponding to the track or pad you want to
record (see NOTES below) while holding the RECORDING section [STEP
REC] button. This engages the record ready mode for the specified track or
pad. Both the [STEP REC] and track/pad button indicators will flash.
"Step Size" refers to the length of the note to be entered. To enter an eighth
note and advance to the next eighth note, for example, the step size should be
set to "8", which corresponds to "1/8" as shown in the list below.
Press the [STEP SIZE] button and the current step size will appear on the
MULTI DISPLAY. Then use the [+] and [–] buttons, the data dial, or the
[STEP SIZE] button itself to select the required step size
(4 ... 32). The "16" step size can be instantly selected by pressing the [+] and
[–] buttons simultaneously.
