The Step Mode Function Keys
The four function keys immediately to the right of the
display provide acces to a number of handy functions in
the step record mode. The "del" (delete) key deletes the
note or chord at the note pointer. The "Bdl" (back delete)
key moves the note pointer backward by the currently
selected note length and deletes the note at that position.
The "rst" (rest) key enters a rest of the currently selected
note length at the note pointer position. And the "tie" key
lengthens the previously entered note by "tying" another
note of the same length (specified by the STEP parameter)
and pitch to it. The "tie" key only works immediately after
entering a note.
The Measure/Beat/Clock Display
The "Meas" area of the step record display shows the
current position of the note pointer in measures, beats,
and clocks (there are 480 clocks per 1/4 note). If you're not
sure what measure you're seeing on the note display while
recording, check the measure/beat/clock display.
You can move the note pointer to any measure by moving
the cursor to the measure number and entering the value
with the [-1] and [+1] keys or the SHIFT-Number entry
method.
