Step Recording (EDIT)
The explanation here applies when selecting the EDIT tab in step 4 of “Realtime
Recording” (page 113).
In the EDIT display, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step
Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 146),
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 automati-
cally 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 automati-
cally 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; how-
ever, they cannot be changed in the Style Creator. Select the recording channel
in the BASIC tab display.
• In the Style Creator, only the channel data and System Exclusive messages can be
entered. You can switch between the two types of lists by pressing the [F] button.
Chord and Lyrics data are not available.
