(7) Editing with Step Write

To enter sounds with Step Write:
1
Raise the rhythm volume, and turn off all the Upper and Lower
keyboard voices by setting each section's volume to MIN.
2
Select the EDIT page with the Page buttons.
3
Select the percussion sound you wish to enter.
There are two ways to select percussion sounds in the Step
Write mode:
[1] Press the key on the Upper or Lower keyboard that
corresponds to the sound. The instrument name
automatically appears at the top right of the LCD when the
key is pressed. The selected instrument is automatically
assigned to an available empty rhythm track.
[2] Use the leftmost Data Control buttons under the rhythm
track number to step through the available sixteen rhythm
tracks. The name of the instrument currently assigned to
the selected track is displayed at the top right of the LCD.
(Since this method allows you to select only from among
the assigned instruments, use the Change function described
with the LCD below to change instrument assignments.)
* This method is especially useful when editing an exisiting
rhythm, preset or user.
