Input the first C3 note as . (dotted eighth note).
Use the radio button at the left to select .
You can choose from the range (whole note)–
(32nd note).
Input a dotted note by selecting "." with the radio
buttons at right.
You can specify "3" to input a triplet. If you want to
use the unmodified length of the note that's selected
at the left, choose "-".
"Note Duration" indicates the length that the note
itself will sound. Smaller values will produce a
staccato note, and larger values will produce a
legato note. For this example, leave this setting
unchanged.
"Note Velocity" is the velocity (playing strength),
and larger values will produce a louder volume. Set
this to Key.
If you select Key for this parameter, the velocity
with which you actually play the keyboard will be
input.
6. On the keyboard, press and then release the first
C3 note that you want to input.
The data you input will appear in the LCD screen as
numerical values. In the upper right, Measure 001
Beat Tick 01.000 will change to Measure 001 Beat
Tick 01.144. 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.

8. When you are finished recording, press the Done
button.
Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch to
play back.
Access 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 546 of the Parameter
Guide, and "Move Measure" on page 546 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 554 of the
Parameter Guide.
