Creating Phrases
This shows you how to create phrases (performance data). There are two ways to create a phrase: inputting note by note (note data) using “step
recording,” or recording what you play in real time using “real-time recording.”
Step Recording

This lets you input the notes (note data) using the pads. You can also
input notes while playing back a clip.

Create your instrument performance by specifying the steps that make
sound for each track.
