SEQUENCER: Page Menu Commands MIDI Step Recording
533
To input data with a continuously-changing value such as
pitch bend, it is best to use the “Create Control Data” menu
command. To input individual data events such as program
changes, use the “MIDI Event Edit” menu command.
1. Use Track Select to select the track into which you
wish to input data, and use From Measure (4–1b) to
specify the measure at which you wish to begin input.
2. When you select “MIDI Step Recording,” the
following dialog box will appear.
3. In Meter, set the time signature.
This will show the time signature that has already been
set for the measure.
If you change the time signature setting, the time
signature data of the measures you record will change,
and all tracks will change to the time signature you
specified.
4. In “Step Time,” specify the length (in terms of a note
value) of the basic interval at which you will input
data.
From the popup menu at the left, select the note length
from between
(whole note) and (32nd note).
If you want the selected note value to be a dotted note or
a triplet, use the popup menu at the right to select a dot “.
(Dot)” or triplet “3 (Triplet).” To use the unmodified
value of the selected note, choose “– (Normal).”
The following table shows the number of clocks
represented by each “Step Time” selection.
5. In “Note Duration,” specify the length that the note
will actually be held, relative to the “Step Time.”
In general, 100% will be tenuto, 85% will be normal, and
50% will be staccato.
6. Use “Note Velocity” to specify the velocity value
(keyboard playing strength) of the note data.
If you set this to Key, the actual velocity at which you
played the key will be input.
7. Input the note events described below by playing
notes on the keyboard or by pressing the buttons in
the lower part of the dialog box.
• Entering notes
When you press a key on the keyboard, that note number
will be input as a note of the length specified in step 4.
When you press a chord on the keyboard, those note
numbers will be input as chords of the length specified in
step 4. Since each of the note numbers you press before
releasing all of the keys will be input at the same location,
the notes will be input as a chord even if they are actually
played at different times.
Each time you press and release the keyboard, the
location will advance by the length specified in step 4.
• Entering rests
Press the Rest button to enter a rest of the length specified
in step 4.
• Entering a tie
If you press the Tie button without pressing the keyboard,
the previously-input note will be tied, and lengthened by
the amount specified in step 4.
If you press the Tie button while holding down a note, the
note you are playing will be tied, and lengthened by the
amount specified in step 4.
You can even enter notes as shown in the following
diagram.
• Deleting a note or rest
To delete a note or rest, press the Step Back button. The
location will move backward by the amount specified in
step 4, and the data in that interval will be deleted.
• Auditioning the next note before input
If you wish to make sure of the next note before you
actually input it, press the PAUSE button (the LED will
light). Now when you press a key, you will hear sound
but the note will not be input. Press the PAUSE button
once again (the LED will go dark) to cancel the pause
mode and resume input
.
8. When you are finished with step recording, press the
Done button.
If you select the page menu command “Compare”, you will
return to the condition of before you began step recording.
