next (previous) measure.

Specifying the note to input

Hold down a REC FUNCTION button [NOTE NUMBER]–
[GATE TIME], and turn [VALUE], or move your finger
horizontally on the D-FIELD to set the pitch/strength/length
of the note that will be newly input.

(8th note triplets), 8 (8th note), 4T (quarter note triplets), 4
(quarter note), 2 (half note), 1 (whole note)

Note settings for the D-FIELD

Specify the note number, velocity, and gate time by moving
your finger to left and right on the D-FIELD.

The type of note can be specified by pressing the eight areas
of the D-FIELD.

Inputting/erasing notes

When you press [ENTER], the note you specified using the
REC FUNCTION buttons will be input at the current tick.

If you press [EXIT (ERASE)], the note at the current tick will
be erased.
