current step will be played (output through midi), just as though the
sequence had been played at that step only. If you don't want to hear a
particular track, turn that track OFF from the PLAY/RECORD screen. As
you step through the sequence step by step, the screen is updated by placing
the first event within that step at the "active event" line. To edit any of the
fields in the line, move the cursor left or right to the desired field and change
the contents as desired. If there are multiple events at that step, they will be
displayed on the other on-screen event lines. Use the CURSOR UP or
CURSOR DOWN keys to access different events by scrolling the screen's 5
line "window" UP or DOWN, and thereby moving higher or lower
numbered events to the "active event" line. As an example, using the "<"
and ">" keys would move from step to step to access a chord at each step;
and the CURSOR UP and CURSOR DOWN keys would access the
individual notes in each chord.
NOTE: All mid-sequence control changes, including the 128
CONTROLLERS, PITCH BEND, PROGRAM CHANGE, MIXER
VOLUME, MIXER PAN, and ECHO MIX VOLUME, only take effect
when played in a sequence. This means if you play a section of a sequence
containing a specific controller event, the last played value of that controller
will remain until another occurrence of the same controller is played, even if
you stop the sequence and start playing it from another location. Because of
this, whenever you use one of these events within a sequence, it is important
to insert another event of the same type at the beginning of the sequence to
set the controller to an initial value.
4.4.3 Step recording
Step edit also makes possible the recording of new notes from the midi
keyboard using a step-by-step method. To record a note while in step mode,
move to the desired position within the sequence, then play and release the
desired note from the midi keyboard. This note will then appear as the new
current event, with its pitch, velocity, release velocity and duration displayed
numerically. The duration of the note is taken from the actual duration
played, relative to the current tempo. However, if the DURATION OF
RECORDED NOTES field in the STEP EDIT OPTIONS screen is set to
SAME AS STEP, The duration always defaults to the current NOTE
VALUE setting in the TIMING CORRECT screen.
If the AUTO STEP INCREMENT ON KEY RELEASE field in the STEP
EDIT OPTIONS screen is set to YES, the current position within the
sequence will automatically advance one step forward when the newly
recorded note (or chord) is released. This will allow you to, for example,
record a series of notes (or chords) one at a time
