5. In “Step Time,” use “Select” to specify the basic 
timing value at which you will input notes and 
rests.
Input the first C3 note as 
. (dotted eighth note).
Use the popup button at the left to select 
.
You can choose a note value ranging from a whole note 
(
) to a 32nd note ().
Input a dotted note by selecting “.” with the popup 
buttons at right.
You can specify “3” to input a triplet. If you want to 
use the unmodified length of the note that’s selected at 
the left, choose “–”.
“Note Duration” indicates the length that the note 
itself will sound. Smaller values will produce a 
staccato note, and larger values will produce a legato 
note. For this example, leave this setting unchanged.
“Note Velocity” is the velocity (playing strength), and 
larger values will produce a louder volume. Set this to 
Key.
If you select Key for this parameter, the velocity with 
which you actually play the keyboard will be input.
6. On the keyboard, press and then release the first 
C3 note that you want to input.
The data you input will appear in the display as 
numerical values. In the upper right, Measure 001 Beat 
Tick 01.000 will change to Measure 001 Beat Tick 
01.360. The next note you input will be placed at this 
location.
7. Input the remaining notes as described in steps 5 
and 6. (You’ve already input the first C3 note.)
In addition to the methods described in steps 5 and 6, 
you can also use the following input methods.
• To input a rest, press the Rest button. This will 
input a rest of the selected Step Time value.
• To modify the length of a note, you can modify the 
Step Time
 value before you input the note. 
However if you want to extend the length (tie) of 
the note, press the Tie button. At this time, the 
previously-input note will be extended by the Step 
Time
 length.
• To delete a note or rest that you input, press the 
Step Back button. The previously-input note will be 
deleted.
• To input a chord, simultaneously press the notes of 
the desired chord. Even if you do not press them 
simultaneously, notes that are pressed before you 
fully remove your hand from all keys on the 
keyboard will be input at the same location.
• If you want to verify the pitch of the note that you 
will input next, press the PAUSE switch. In this 
state, playing a key will produce a sound, but will 
not input a note. Press the PAUSE switch once 
again to cancel the record-pause state, and resume 
inputting notes. 
8. When you are finished recording, press the Done 
button.
Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch to play 
back.
Access the P0: Play/REC– Play Loop T01–08 page, 
check Track Play Loop for MIDI Track 02, set Loop 
Start Measure
 to 001, and Loop End Measure to 002. 
MIDI track 02 will play measures 1–2 repeatedly.
9. If you’re not satisfied with the result, press the 
COMPARE switch to return to the state prior to 
recording, and then re-record from step 4.
When you begin step recording, all data in the 
MIDI track that follows the measure where you 
began recording will be erased. You need to be 
aware of this if you begin step recording from a 
measure mid-way through the song.
If you want to copy data into a measure that 
already contains data, perform step recording in 
an empty MIDI track, and use the Move Measure 
or Copy Measure menu commands. For details, 
please see “Copy Measure” on page 200 of the 
Parameter Guide, and “Move Measure” on 
page 201 of the Parameter Guide.
If you want to edit or add to the recorded data, 
you can use the Event Edit function. For details, 
please see “Event Edit” on page 196 of the 
Parameter Guide.
