■ Using Step Recording
What is Step Recording?
This is a recording method whereby measures
are divided into units called “steps,” and the
timing of each sound to be played is specified.
The step length is set in “Quantize.” For example,
if the value in Quantize is set to the eighth note,
then when the time signature (beat) is set to 4/4,
eight notes can be input in one measure.
When you press the pads while recording drum
parts, one step length of the sound assigned to
that pad will be input.
fig.07-10
When recording bass parts, pressing a pad inputs
one step length of the pitch corresponding to that
pad. To record a long note, input the note by
holding down the pad and pressing [
].
