Step Recording

In the EDIT Page, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is 
essentially the same as that for Song Recording (

page 45

) with the exception of the points listed below: 

• In the Song Creator, the End Mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed. 

This is because the length of the Style is automatically fixed, depending on the selected section. For example, 
if you create a Style based on a section of four measures length, the End Mark position is automatically set to 
the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step Recording display.

• Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator 1-16 tab display; however, they cannot be changed 

in the Style Creator. Select the recording channel in the BASIC tab display.

• In the Style Creator, the channel data can be entered and System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy, 

or move). You can switch between the two by pressing the [F] button. However, Chord, Lyrics, and System 
Exclusive data cannot be entered.

For instructions on Step Recording, refer to 

pages 45–48

. For information on the EDIT display (Event List 

display), refer to 

page 58

.

Style Assembly

Style Assembly allows you to create a single Style by mixing the various patterns (channels) from existing 
internal Styles.
