The Step Editor allows for non-real time entry of note events and rests of varying durations and
attack velocities at any location within a Song. The Step Editor can be used to enter the Þrst
note events into a new Song, but it will not set the SongÕs End point. Initial program changes,
volume and pan settings are remembered as if you recorded the Þrst track using one of the real
time recording modes. The End point will be modiÞed if tracks already containing data are Step
edited beyond the current End point.
The top line displays the currently selected RecTrk and can then be switched to any other track.
When All tracks are selected, the Step edits are performed on the currently selected RecTrk.

Recording with the STEP editor

Recording using the step editor is easy. Set the parameters to your desired settings and make
sure the Locate parameter is set to the bar and beat at which you wish to start recording. Then
just strike a key. The note you play will be displayed in the window on the right along with its
velocity or duration. If the Velocity parameter is set to Played, then it will reßect the actual
velocity you played. Otherwise, it will be speciÞc amount determined by that parameter. The
duration of the note is determined by a combination of the Duration and Gate Time
parameters.
Once you release the key, the Locate parameter will advance in time, by an amount determined
by the Duration parameter. If you want to enter a rest, press the Step> soft button without
striking a key, and once again the Locate parameter will advance the selected amount.
You can enter note events longer than the selected duration by holding a key and pressing the
Step> button. You will see the duration of the current note change in the window on the right.
This can be a quicker method of entry than changing the duration parameter if you need a note
that is twice or three times as long as the duration. For instance, if the duration is set to 1/8, you
can quickly enter 1/4 note by holding the note and pressing Step> once, or enter a whole note
by pressing the Step> button three times. Note that if you are using this method and the Gate
Time parameter is set to less than 100%, it will only be applied to one of the steps. For example,
if you have a Duration of 1/8 and a Gate Time of 75%, then striking a note will produce a
duration of 180 (75% of 240). But if you hold the note and press Step>, then the duration will be
420 (180 + 240), instead of 360 (75% of 480).
