Adding Rests, Ties, and Velocity
When recording note sequences using the keyboard, the Sequencer
assigns each note that you play (along with its velocity) to successive
steps in the sequence. However, you may want to add rests, ties, and
additional velocity changes for greater rhythmic variation.
Adding Rests
Rests turn off notes. You can add rests as you record a sequence in real
time, or you can add them after you’ve finished recording.
To add rests in real time as you record:
1. Press the
record
button and play a series of notes.
2. When you reach a step where you want to add a rest, press that step
LED/button. The step becomes a rest.
3. If you want to add several rests in a row, press the step LED/button
where you want the rest to end.
4. Continue playing notes as desired to complete the sequence.
