Chords and second voices in Step Record
mode
You are not obliged to insert single notes in a track. There are
several ways to insert chords and double voices. Lets look at
some.
Entering a chord. Simply play a chord instead of a single note.
The event name will be the first note of the chord you pressed,
followed by the "..." abbreviation.
Entering a chord made of notes with different velocity values.
You can make the upper or lower note of a chord, for example,
louder than the remaining ones, to let the most important stand
out from the chord. Here is how to insert a three-note chord:
1. Edit the first note's Velocity value.
2. Press the first note and keep it pressed.
3. Edit the second note's Velocity value.
4. Press the second note and keep it pressed.
5. Edit the third note's Velocity value.
6. Press the third note, then release all notes.
Entering a second voice. You can insert passages where one
note is kept pressed, while another voice moves freely.
