Track - Yamaha qx21 Owner's Manual

STEP
RECORDING
In
the step recording
mode,
notes,
chords and
rests are
input
one
at a
time from
the recording keyboard, the note length
of
each being determined by the
STEP
SIZE
setting.
Since the data
is
not entered
in real
time, this
mode
is
ideal for
entering
extremely
fast or
complex
lines
which would
be impossible to play
in
real
time.
The
step recording
mode
is
activated
by
pressing the
STEP
button.
The
TRACK
1
indicator
will light,
the
STEP
indicator will flash,
and
the current
measure
number
(or
end
mark)
will
be displayed
on
the
digital
LED
display.
If
TRACK
1
contains
no
data
you
will
automatically begin recording
from
the
first
measure.
If,
however,
you
will
begin recording from
a specific
measure
within
or at
the
end
of
al-
ready-recorded
material,
use
the
-1 and +1
buttons
at this
point to locate the
measure from which you
will
begin recording.
The
actual length of the
each note
entered
is
specified
using the
JOB/STEP
SIZE
selectors
and the note
markings on
the job
lists.
The
available
note lengths
are:

To
begin
actual recording, press the
RECORD
button—
the
RECORD
indicator
will
light—
and
then the
START
button—
the
START
indicator will
light.
The QX21
is
now
waiting
for
you
to
input the
first
note.
To
record,
first
select
the desired note
length—
just as
you
normally
select different
jobs—
using the
JOB/STEP
SIZE
se-
lectors,
play the appropriate note
or
chord on
the
keyboard,
select the next note
length, play the next note or
chord
on
the
keyboard
and
so on.
The measure
count
will
be updated
as
you
"fill"
each measure with
notes,
chords and
rests.
The
dots
at
the
bottom
of
the
LED
display indicate
which
beat
of the current
measure
is
being entered.
