Recording Songs
Step Recording is the method of inputting notes and rests
individually, as if you were writing them onto a musical staff. In
addition to inputting notes, this method can also be used to create a
song by joining patterns.
1.
Make sure that the preparations for recording have been
performed as described in “Before You Record a New
Song” (p. 122).
If you want to record into an existing song, load the desired
song into Temporary Song (p. 131). Then press [
] or
[
] to specify the measure at which you want to begin
recording. The measure at which recording will begin is
indicated by the “M=” in the upper right of each PLAY screen.
2.
Press [
] twice, or hold down [SHIFT] and press [
].
The [
] indicator blinks, and the Step Rec Standby window
appears.

If you want to record a pattern, press [PATTERN] to make it
light.
3.
Make settings for step recording. Use [CURSOR] to move
the cursor to the desired parameter, and use the VALUE
dial or [INC] [DEC] to set it.
4.
Press [F6 (NOTE)] or [
].
The [
] indicator lights, and the STEP REC screen appears.

5.
Specify the note that you want to input. Use
or
to
select the desired parameter.
6.
Use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to make the setting.
7.
Press [F5] or [F6] to move to the desired input location, and
press a note on the keyboard or a pad.
When you press a key or a pad, the input position will advance
by the value of the Note Type you specified. The velocities are
displayed as a bar graph.

You can use the function buttons ([F1][F2][F3][F4][F5]) to
perform the following operations.
[F1 (BAK DEL)]: Cancel the previously input note.
[F2 (TIE)]:
Extend the length of the previously input note
by the current setting.
[F3 (UNTIE)]:
Cancel the previously input TIE.
[F4 (REST)]:
Inputs a rest. First set the Note Type parameter
to a length that is the same as the rest you want
to input, and then press [F3 (REST)].

Rec Track
TRK 1–TRK 16,
PTN001–PTN100
(* when record-
ing on a pattern)
Specify the phrase track or
pattern on which you want to
record.
Rec Mode
MIX, REPLACE
Select how recording is to
take place.
MIX:
Mix-recording will be carried out. Normally,
you will record using this method. If a perfor-
mance has already been recorded on the
recording-destination track, your newly record-
ed performance will be added to the existing
performance without erasing it.
REPLACE:
Replace-recording will be carried out. If a per-
formance has already been recorded on the re-
cording-destination track, it will be erased as
you record your new performance. Use this
when you want to re-record.
Start Point
—
Specify the location (mea-
sure-beat-tick) at which re-
cording will begin.

Explanation
Note Type
Note
Specify the length of the notes that
you want to input, in terms of a note
value.
The length of the note value indi-
cates the length from one note-on
to the next note-on.
Gate Time
1–100%
Specify the proportion of the gate
time relative to the Note Type.
The gate time is the length between
note-on and note-off. Specify a low-
er value if you want the notes to be
played staccato, or a higher value if
you want the notes to be played te-
nuto, or as a slur. Normally, you
will set this to about “80%.”
Input Velo
REAL,
1–127
Specify the strength with which the
note will be played.
If you want this to be the strength
with which you actually pressed
the key, select “REAL.” Otherwise,
use settings of p (piano)=60, mf
(mezzo forte)=90, or f (forte)=120 as
general guidelines.
