Chapter 6. Creating an Original Pattern
Modifying a note that you input
(Note Edit)
You can modify the pitch, strength, and length of an alreadyentered
note.
1. During step recording, turn [VALUE] or use the D-
FIELD to move to the location of the note that you
wish to edit (p. 63).
2. Hold down one of the REC FUNCTION buttons [NOTE
NUMBER]–[GATE TIME], and press [EDIT].
The REC FUNCTION button that you pressed will blink,
and you will be in Note Edit mode.
3. Turn [VALUE] to modify the value.
4. By pressing another REC FUNCTION button other
than the one that is currently blinking, you can
modify its parameter.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to edit the note.
6. When you are finished with note editing, press
[ENTER] or [EDIT].
The REC FUNCTION button will change from blinking
to lit.
By using REC FUNCTION [NOTE NUMBER] to switch
pitches, you can independently edit each note of a chord.
For notes that are between two grid lines, the beat scan
indicator of the preceding grid line will light (or blink), but if
you press [EDIT] on that grid line, the display will indicate
“noEdit.” In this case, use the D-FIELD 5–8 functions (p. 63)
to select the note.

You can move the location of a previously input note (Move

wish to move (copy).

3. Turn [VALUE] to select whether the note will be
moved or copied.

move (copy).
By holding down [DISPLAY] and turning [VALUE], you
can specify the location in grid units.
By holding down [EXIT] and turning [VALUE] you can
specify this in beat units.
6. When you have specified the location, press
[ENTER].
The display will ask “SurE” (are you sure you want to
move or copy?).
7. To execute the move (copy) operation, press
[ENTER].
* If you press [EXIT] during steps 3–7, you will return to the
previous screen.
For notes that are between two grid lines, the beat scan
indicator of the proceeding grid line will light (or blink), but
if you press [EDIT] on that grid line, the display will indicate
“noEdit.” In this case, use the D-FIELD 5–8 functions (p. 63)
to select the note.
