Beat Graph
The Beat Graph lets you confirm and set the note
input location within a measure. One small dash “-”
indicates the length of a 32nd note. Therefore eight
dashes “-” will equal to the length of a quarter note,
and 32 dashes “-” will equal to the length of a whole
note. For example in 4/4 time, 32 dashes “-” indicate
the length of one measure. The Beat location is
indicated with a short vertical line.
When you enter a note using the keyboard, the
cursor will advance by the length of the input note.
You can use the vertical cursor keys to move the
cursor to select the input location. mark will be
displayed on “-” at the location where the note is
being input.
The Step recording screen may differ depending on
the currently selected time signature.
