Reference
Record mode: Step Record page
The Step Record allows you to create a new Song by entering sin-
gle notes or chords to each track. This is very useful when tran-
scribing an existing score, or needing a higher grade of detail,
and is particularly suitable to create drum and percussion tracks.
To access this page, select the “Overdub Step Recording” or
“Overwrite Step Recording” command from the page menu.
In Overdub Step Recording mode you will add to existing events,
while in Overwrite Step Recording mode you will overwrite all
existing events.
See “Step Record procedure” below, for information on the
record procedure.
