    Step Record
    STEP RECORD is simply a method of making a tune by storing the sounds note-by-note on the display. Instead of playing the
    keyboard directly as in the REALTIME RECORD mode, you can take your time to input each single note. This is an especially
    effective method for storing complicated passages that are difficult to play or when the exact timing of a part is critical.

    similar to the following.
    •If you selected the track to which the CHORD part has
    been assigned, the display changes to the STEP RE-
    CORD: CHORD display. (Refer to page 74.)
    •If you selected the track to which the RHYTHM part has
    been assigned, the display changes to the STEP RE-
    CORD: RHYTHM display. (Refer to page 75.)
    •If you selected the track to which the CONTROL part has
    been assigned, the display changes to the STEP RE-
    CORD: CONTROL display.
    4.Use the MEAS  and  buttons to select the
    measure.
    •This step is not necessary if you are recording from
    measure 1 of a blank track.

    							5.Use the CURSOR   and   buttons to move
    the cursor to the note position (dot) you are
    going to store.
    •Each dot represents one-eighth of a quarter-note (a thirty-
    second note).
    •When storing triplets, it may not be possible to match the
    timing exactly with the 1/32-note steps. However, if you
    select triplet-type notes for the note length (LENGTH) in
    step 6 below, the timing is automatically corrected.

    playing the keyboard.
    •The dot on the display where the note is stored changes
    to a 
    * mark.
    •When recording chords, you can store multiple notes at
    one position.
    •Any panel setting changes—for example changes in the
    sound selection, button operation, etc.—are recorded at

    7.Use the STRENGTH ∧ and ∨ buttons to select
    the amount of quantize (%).
    •100% is a convenient setting. When set to 100%, the
    performance data is quantized exactly to the level
    specified for the VALUE (“just”). For example, at 50%,
    the data is quantized to a point that is half that of the just
    level. By this setting, you can attain an effect that is very
    slightly off-beat from the rhythm.
    8.Use the WINDOW ∧ and ∨ buttons to specify
    the range (%) affected by the quantize setting.
    •With the increment set to 100 for the VALUE, at a +
    setting, data close to the just point is corrected, and at a
    – setting, data far from the just point is corrected. For
    example, if set to –30% the quantize function affects data
    far from the just point, and if set to +30% the quantize
    function affects data close to the just point. +100% is
    usually a convenient setting.
    •The +100% setting and the –100% setting are the same.
