Step recording

Step recording is the recording method where you
specify the duration and strength of each note, and use
the keyboard to specify the pitch of each MIDI note.
You can use the Rest button and Tie button of the
dialog box to input rests and ties.
Step recording is useful when you want to create
mechanically precise beats, or when you need to
record a phrase that would be difficult to play by hand
"in real time," or when you find it difficult to play
extremely complicated or rapid passages.
