228 Style/Pad Record
Overdub Step Recording window
Overdub Step Recording window
The Step Record allows you to create a new Style/Pad by entering
single notes or chords to each track, by playing them on the key-
board one at a time, with no need to play on time. This is very
useful when transcribing an existing score, or needing a higher
grade of detail, and is particularly suitable to create drum and
percussion tracks.
To access this page, select the “Overdub Step Recording” com-
mand from the page menu.
