Step Edit also makes it possible to record new notes from a MIDI
keyboard while the sequence is not playing. To record a note while
in Step Edit mode, move to the desired position within the sequence,
then play and release the desired note on the MIDI keyboard. This
note will then appear as the new active event, with its pitch, veloc-
ity, release velocity, and duration displayed numerically. The dura-
tion 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 step value.

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 allow you to, for
example, record a series of notes (or chords) one at a time while
stopped, and automatically play them back with evenly spaced
timing. To do this:

1. Set up your sequence and track for recording from your

MIDI keyboard as you would to record in real time.

2. In the Timing Correct screen, set the 

Note value

 field

to the desired step value.

3. Rewind to the start of the sequence.
4. Press STEP EDIT.
5. Press SOFT KEY 4,

6. Set the

field to

.

7. Press STEP EDIT again.
8. Play a series of notes (or chords), one at a time.
9. Press PLAY START. The notes you have just entered will

play back with evenly spaced timing.
