    This plays back the pattern.

  3. Use the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to select the step to edit.

Editing the note numbers and performance data

    Explanation

    Note number

    		 n.$C5 Sets the note number.
    Setting range: C-–Gq (C-1 –G9)
    For instance, C´5 is shown as Cģ5.
    • If a chord has been input, the lowest note number in the chord is shown. When you edit this value, the other notes change accordingly.

    Velocity

    		 v.100 Sets the velocity.
    Setting range: 1–127
    • If a chord has been input, the highest velocity value used in the chord is shown. After you edit this value, the other notes are set to the same value.

    Gate

    		 G.$80 Sets the gate time (note length).
    When this is set to 100 and the same note number has been input for the next step, a tie is played.
    Setting range: 1–100
    • If a chord has been input, the longest gate time used in the chord is shown. After you edit this value, the other notes are set to the same value.

    Probability

    		 P.100 Sets the probability for notes to play back.
    Use the master probability setting when you want to change the probability en masse, for all steps that are set at 99 or lower.
    Setting range: 1–100
    • This affects all notes within the step.

    Sub step

    		 o$$$ Divides up the step to play.
    o: Sound is played.
    È: Sound is not played.
    For example, when ooÈ is indicated, the step is divided into three parts, with the first and second parts being played and the third part not played.

    • This affects all notes within the step.

    • This has no effect on steps for which notes have not been specified, or on steps that are in the middle of a tie.
  2. While holding down the step pad, use the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the setting.


Inputting a tie

  1. To input a tie that extends to the next step, press the [HOLD] button while holding down the step pad of the step whose length you wish to change.

    When you long-press a step pad that contains a tie, the note number inputted to that step is shown in the display.

    • You can’t input a tie if a note already exists in the next step.

Deleting all notes at once within a specified step

  1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press pad [11] (CLEAR NOTE).

    “CLr.n” blinks in the display, and the unit waits for you to execute or cancel.

  2. To execute, press pad [2] (ENTER).

    If you decide to cancel, press pad [1] (EXIT).

Inputting a motion into a specified step

  1. Use the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to select the step to edit.

  2. Turn the knob to register a motion.

    “FULL” is indicated if the number of parameters exceeds the maximum number that can be registered in a motion.
    If this happens, follow the steps in “Deleting all motions from a specified step at once” to delete any unnecessary motions.

Deleting all motions from a specified step at once

  1. Use the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to select the step to edit.

  2. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press pad [12] (CLEAR MOTION).

    “CLr.N” blinks in the display, and the unit waits for you to execute or cancel.
    When the unit is waiting for you to execute or cancel, you can delete only the parameter for a specific knob from a motion by turning that knob. (This is executed when you turn the knob.)

  3. To execute, press pad [2] (ENTER).

    If you decide to cancel, press pad [1] (EXIT).
