Set the Note Parameters as Required
Move the cursor to the note length, velocity, and gate time parameters and set
as required.
When the cusor is located at the note length parameter the numeric keypad
can be used to enter the note lengths marked on the keys. The dot key (the [0]
key) can be used to add one or more dots to the currently selected note length.
In-beween values can be entered using the
[-1/NO]
and
[+1/YES]
keys or the
data dial.
When the cursor is located at the velocity parameter, the numeric keypad
can be used to directly enter the dynamic values marked on the keys (pp, mf,
etc.). In-between values can be entered using the
[-1/NO]
and
[+1/YES]
keys
or the data dial.
Enter a Note
Once the note parameters have been specified, the note can be entered simply
by playing the appropriate key on the micro-keyboard (or on your external
MIDI keyboard). A note symbol appears on the note display an the note
pointer advances to the next note position. The note symbol always appears as
a 1/4-note, regardless of the actual note entered (chords are also indicated by
the 1/4-note symbol). Here’s how the display will look after two 8th notes
have been entered.
Chords can be entered simply by moving the note pointer back to a note and
entering another note at the same location (this can be repeated as many times
as necessary. See “Moving Around In the Note Display”, below.
The Note & Keyboard Displays
The note display shows up to four 1/4-notes worth of data at once (that’s one
measure in 4/4 time). If the selected time signature results in more than four
1/4 notes per measure, then the display will scroll to show the extra notes.
