This area shows some performing info on the Song.
Song name

Free memory %
Percentage of remaining memory available for recording.
Beat counter
This indicator shows the current beat inside the current mea-
sure.
Measure number
Current measure you are recording.
Recording parameters area
Rec mode (Recording mode)
Set this parameter before starting record, to select a recording
mode.
Overdub The newly recorded events will be mixed to any
existing events.
Overwrite The newly recorded events will replace any exist-
ing events.
Auto Punch Recording will automatically begin at the “Start”
position, and stop at the “End” position.
Note: The Auto Punch function will not work on
an empty Song. At least one track must already be
recorded.
PedalPunch Recording will begin when pressing a pedal set to
the “Punch In/Out” function, and will finish
when pressing the same pedal again.
Note: The Pedal Punch function will not work on an
empty Song. At least one track must already be recorded.
Start from
When checked, the measure shown by this parameter is a tem-
porary start point of the song, instead of measure 1. When you
press the (START/STOP) button to stop recording, or use
the << (REWIND) button to go back to the beginning, the Song
returns to this point.
Resolution
Use this parameter to set the quantization during recording.
Quantization is a way of correcting timing errors; notes played
too soon or too late are moved to the nearest axis of a rhythmic
“grid”, set with this parameter, thus playing perfectly in time.
High No quantization applied.
(1/32)… (1/8)
Grid resolution, in musical values. For example,
when you select 1/16, all notes are moved to the
nearest 1/16 division. When you select 1/8, all
notes are moved to the nearest 1/8 division.
Start/End
Start and End locators. These parameters area available only
when the “Auto Punch” recording mode is selected. They set the
starting and ending points of the Punch recording.
Tempo
Select this parameter, and use the TEMPO controls to set the
Tempo value.
Meter
This is the basic meter (or time signature) of the Song. You can
edit this parameter only when the Song is empty, i.e., before you
begin recording anything. To insert a meter change in the mid-
dle of the Song, use the “Insert Measure” function (see
page 142).
