7. Press [ ] to start recording.
The STYLE STEP REC screen will appear.
8. Use [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] to select a parameter, and
specify the note value that you want to input.
9. Use [ ] [ ] to move the input location (step), and press
a key.
When you press a key, the input location will advance by
the length of the NOTE setting.
Pressing [ ] will move the input location back by the length
of the current NOTE setting, and pressing [ ] will move the
input location forward by the length of the current NOTE
setting.
You can use the [0]–[3] buttons to perform the following
operations.
10. Repeat steps 7–9 to enter the desired notes.
Each parameter will retain the value you entered most
recently, so if you want the same settings for the next note you
input, there’s no need to change them. Once you’ve specified
GATE and VELOCITY, there is usually no need to change these
parameters until the end; simply specify the NOTE and the
pitch (key).
Entering chords
Play the chord. The input location will advance to the next step
when you release all of the keys.
11. When you’re finished step-recording, press [ ].
If you want to keep the Style you just recorded, proceed
as described in “Saving the Style you recorded” (p. 12).
