[. . . ] (NOTE: The position pointer location will not change. ) KEYBOARD VIEW (C-1 ~ B7) The entire keyboard will not fit in the screen, but you can access views of the lower region of the keyboard by pressing [F1] once or more, and the upper region of the keyboard by pressing [F2] once or more. A small plus + sign indicates middle C, or C3. ~ VELOCITY To determine the velocity value of notes, press [F3 ~ F6] before entering note data on the keyboard. (The selected velocity value will display in reverse type. ) PIANO - Pressing [F3] ( p ) designates that the subsequent notes will be assigned a piano velocity value of 56. G DATA INPUT To input data in step record, you ll use a combination of the keyboard (to input actual notes), the KEYPAD (to input note and other values as indicated above the KEYPAD buttons), and the function keys (to determine velocity and other values and access additional parameters). KEYBOARD - Each time you press and release a key on the keyboard it will be recorded, or input, and the position will move ahead one step as specified by the step time. The note will not be entered until all keys have been released. This allows you to enter more than one note at the same location by pressing more than one note before releasing the first. KEYPAD - The numeric keys #1 ~ #8 on the KEYPAD let you specify the note length to be recorded. Pressing each key will select the note length printed above it, from a whole note (#1) to a 16th note triplet (#8). This also determines the step time by which the cursor will automatically advance after each note has been entered. To create a double dotted note, press #9 twice. To extend the duration of the previously entered note by the current note length with a tie, press [--]; the cursor will advance accordingly. To advance one step without entering data with a rest, press #0, or just move the position pointer. SCROLL - Using the JOG/SHUTTLE or the CURSOR keys, you can scroll back and forth through the measures and stop to enter notes wherever you like. As you cross note data, it will display on the keyboard diagram and sound by the tone generator. SONG MODE 90 MEZZOFORTE - Pressing [F4] ( mf ) designates that the subsequent notes will be assigned a mezzo forte velocity value of 88. FORTE - Pressing [F5] ( f ) designates that the subsequent notes will be assigned a forte velocity value of 120. KEYBOARD - Pressing [F6] ( kbd ) designates that the subsequent notes will be assigned a velocity value according to how you strike the keys. NOTE LENGTH Indicates the currently selected note length. At any time during step recording you can use the numeric keypad to enter note lengths as shown by the symbols printed above each key on the keypad. You can also modify the note lengths by pressing [F7]. If possible, the note values in this area will be displayed as graphic symbols for a whole note, quarter note, etc. Otherwise the note length will display as a number representing clocks (at a maximum of 960 clocks). NOTE: The CANCEL button will not function in Song Record Mode. G STEP STOP When you ve finished the step recording process, press STOP/TOP.
