Creating songs (Sequencer mode)
Beat Tick 01.000 will change to Measure 001 Beat
Tick 01.360. The next note you input will be placed
at this location.
7. Input the remaining notes as described in steps 5
and 6. (You've already input the first C3 note.)
In addition to the methods described in steps 5 and
6, you can also use the following input methods.
• To input a rest, press the Rest button. This will
input a rest of the "Step Time" value.
• To modify the length of a note, you can modify the
"Step time" value before you input the note.
However if you want to extend the length (tie) of
the note, press the Tie button. At this time, the
previously‐input note will be extended by the "Step
time" length.
• To delete a note or rest that you input, press the
Step Back button. The previously‐input note will be
deleted.
• To input a chord, simultaneously press the notes of
the desired chord. Even if you do not press them
simultaneously, notes that are pressed before you
fully remove your hand from all keys on the
keyboard will be input at the same location.
• If you want to verify the pitch of the note that you
will input next, press the PAUSE switch. In this
state, playing a key will produce a sound, but will
not input a note. Press the PAUSE switch once
again to cancel the record‐pause state, and resume
inputting notes.

Recording the sound of a Combination or Program
Here's how you can easily copy the settings of a
Combination or Program, and then record using that
sound.
When you're performing in Program or Combination
mode, you can use the Auto Song Setup function to
automatically the current Program or Combination
into a song. Alternatively, you can use the Sequencer
mode's Copy From Combi and Copy from Program
menu commands.

8. When you are finished recording, press the Done
button.
Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch to play
back.
Go to the P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track Loop page,
check Track Play Loop for MIDI Track 02, set Loop
Start Measure to 001, and Loop End Measure to
002. MIDI track 02 will play measures 1–2
repeatedly.
9. If you're not satisfied with the result, press the
COMPARE switch to return to the state prior to
recording, and then re‐record from step 4.
When you begin step recording, all data in the MIDI
track that follows the measure where you began
recording will be erased. You need to be aware of
this if you begin step recording from a measure
mid‐way through the song.
If you want to copy data into a measure that already
contains data, perform step recording in an empty
MIDI track, and use the Move Measure or Copy
Measure menu commands. For more information,
see "Copy Measure" on page 646 of the Parameter
Guide, and "Move Measure" on page 647 of the
Parameter Guide.
If you want to edit or add to the recorded data, you
can use the MIDI Event Edit function. For more
information, see "Event Edit" on page 654 of the
Parameter Guide.
Auto Song Setup
You can use Auto Song Setup with both Programs and
Combinations. In this example, we'll use a
Combination.
1. Save any edits to the Combination.
If you've made any edits—even simple things like
changing pan and volume for the Timbres— must save
the new settings using Update Combination or Write
Combination before proceeding.
