Enter a Note
Once the note parameters have been specified, the note can be entered simply
by playing the appropriate key on the micro-keyboard (or on your external
MIDI keyboard). A note symbol appears on the note display an the note
pointer advances to the next note position. The note symbol always appears as
a 1/4-note, regardless of the actual note entered (chords are also indicated by
the 1/4-note symbol). Here's how the display will look after two 8th notes
have been entered.
Chords can be entered simply by moving the note pointer back to a note and
entering another note at the same location (this can be repeated as many times
as necessary. See "Moving Around In the Note Display", below.
The Note & Keyboard Displays
The note display shows up to four 1/4-notes worth of data at once (that's one
measure in 4/4 time). If the selected time signature results in more than four
1/4 notes per measure, then the display will scroll to show the extra notes.
Note pointer
Each dash represents a 32nd note (12 clocks)
1st beat 2nd beat 3rd beat 4th beat
The keyboard display shows the pitch(es) of the note(s) at the current note
pointer position. In the example below the keyboard displays that a chord (C
major) consisting of three notes exists at the current note pointer location.
