Access the step recording screen
The procedure until this point has been the same as when you
recorded the piano, but now we'll shift to a procedure that is dis-
tinctive of step recording.
In the MIDI TRACK screen, the metronome will begin sounding
when you press the [REC] button once, but if you press the [REC]
button once again you'll enter the step record standby screen.
In the MIDI TRACK screen, press
[REC] twice to access the step
record standby screen.
In this screen, notice that "Start Point" is "0001-01-000" (the be-
ginning of the fi rst beat of measure one). If it's not, use the [Down
cursor] button to move the cursor to Start Point, and then use
the dial to set it.
When you press the [START] button, you'll see the step recording
screen.
Use the [Down cursor] but-
ton to move the cursor. Turn
the dial to change the Start
Point to "0001-01-0000".

It goes without saying that keyboard instruments are fundamentally diff erent than other types of instru-
ments. For example, what will happen when you play the following bass phrase from the keyboard?
It looks easy, but at this rapid tempo it's not easy to play consistent repeated notes at the same pitch. It
takes a moment to move your fi nger off the key, so it's rather diffi cult to avoid a staccato feeling. Even
phrases like this that might be diffi cult to play from a keyboard are easy if you use step recording. If you're
trying for high-precision patterns, you'll want to take advantage of step recording.

Enter the data
We'll begin by making some settings that specify the type of notes
we want to enter. Set the note length and volume as shown in the
screen below.
Setting
Specifi es the note length (time value).
NOTE TYPE
Specifi es the duration of the actual sound relative to
the note length. For example even if NOTE TYPE is set to
GATE
1/8th notes, this GATE setting will determine whether
the notes are legato or staccato.
Specifi es the velocity (loudness) of the notes. If you set
this to "REAL," the force at which you actually strike
each key will be entered as the velocity. If you specify
VELO
a value of 1–127, that's the velocity value that will be
entered; the force at which you actually strike the key
will be ignored.
When you've fi nished making these settings, press a key to enter
the fi rst note.
When you press
a key, the fi rst
note will be
entered.
When you press a key, a horizontal bar will appear, indicating the pitch
of the note you entered. Simply repeat this step to enter the notes.
When you've fi nished, press the [STOP] button.

For more details on step recording, refer to "Inputting Data
One Step at a Time (Step Recording)" (p. 92) in the owner's
manual.
Use the [Left/Right cursor]
buttons to move.
Turn the dial to change the
value.
Explanation
You can use the [STEP]
buttons to move the
location at which your
note will be entered.
(You'll move in steps of
the length selected by
"NOTE TYPE.")
