,Step Record
(Owner’s Manual pages 80 & 187)
,
and Grid Step Record
(Owner’s Manual pages 83 & 189) modes during playback.
It is now possible to switch directly to the Edit (Phrase Edit, Song Edit), Step Record (Phrase Record, Song Record), and Grid Step
Record (Phrase Record, Song Record) modes during playback: simply press the [EDIT] button to enter the Edit mode, or the [REC]
button to enter the Step record or Grid Step Record mode. Press [PLAY] to return to the normal playback mode.
■ Keyboard Pad LED Note Display
When the keyboard pads are being used as a music keyboard (Owner's Manual page 18 - [KEYBOARD] Button), the LEDs of the
keyboard pads corresponding to the notes listed below will light.
• The note at the cursor location on the STEP RECORD display.
• The note at the cursor location on the EDIT display.
• The note currently playing in the currently selected track.
■ Switching Sections via the Keyboard Pads
(Owner’s Manual page 72)
In addition to sections A ~ J, it is now possible to select sections K ~ P via the keyboard pads. To select sections K ~ P use the black
keyboard pads (A ~ F) while holding the [SHIFT] button.
■ Real-time Record
(Owner’s Manual pages 80, 162, & 187)
It is now possible to temporarily disengage the record mode while playback continues so you can try out ideas on the keyboard pads
without actually recording.
To temporarily disengage the record mode simply press the [REC] button after starting REPLACE, OVERDUB, or PUNCH real-
time recording as described in the owner’s manual – the [REC] LED will flash and playback will continue uninterrupted but no data
will be recorded. To return to the record mode press the [REC] button again – the [REC] LED will light continuously. This can be
repeated to disengage/resume recording as many times as necessary to until the [STOP] button is pressed. The [REC] LED indicates
the current record status – continuously lit = recording, flashing = record disengaged.
■ Grid Step Record
(Owner’s Manual pages 83 & 189)
Changes and additions to the Grid Step Record mode are listed below.
● Track selection
Press the appropriate white keyboard pad while holding the [TRACK SELECT] button.
● Move to a different measure during playback.
Use the and buttons.
● Play other selected tracks while recording.
All other tracks will play back simultaneously. Use the [MUTE] button and the white keyboard pads to selectively
mute/un-mute tracks as required. Press [SHIFT] and [MUTE] simultaneously to monitor only the record track.
● Note Scan
This function provides a convenient way to locate a specific instrument in a recorded rhythm track. Press [F1] to
move to the nearest recorded note that is higher than the current note.

● Set grid resolution.
It is now possible to specify the grid resolution.
4 RESOLUTION .......................................................... [DIAL 4]
[Settings] Range: 15 (128
th
-notes), 20 (64
th
-note triplets), 30 (64
th
notes), 40 (32
nd
-note triplets), 60 (32
nd
notes),
80 (16
th
-note triplets), 120 (16
th
notes), 160 (8
th
-note triplets).
When the number of grid units per measure is greater than 16 the keyboard pad edit location with the measure is set via the [OCT DOWN]
and [OCT UP] buttons. The keyboard pad LEDS indicate the current edit location while the [OCT DOWN] or [OCT UP] button is held.
When a triplet resolution is selected only keyboard pads 1 ~ 12 are used.
In this example the fourth of a possible eight locations is selected for editing.
● Measure Hold
The Measure Hold can now be selected from the Grid Step record standby mode (Owner’s Manual page 78).
7 MEASURE HOLD .................................................... [DIAL 3]
Can be set when the Grid Step record type is selected.
[Settings] Range: ON, OFF
1-measure monitoring is selected when ON, full-pattern monitoring when OFF.
■ Changes to the Voice Edit Filter Page
(Owner’s Manual page 102)
12 new Voice Edit filter types are provided in addition to a new “Distance” parameter.
1 CUTOFF FREQUENCY (CUTOFF) (Refer to Owner’s Manual page 103)
2 DISTANCE (DST) ..................................................... [F1] → [DIAL 1]
Relative
[Settings] Range: –32 ~ +31
Specifies the distance between the two frequencies for the dual-type filters (Dual LPF, Dual HPF, Dual BPF, Dual BEF) and LPF+BPF com-
bined filter. When set to “0” the two cutoff frequencies are equal.

sound. Compared to the LPF24A type this filter can produce a
more pronounced resonance effect.
LPF18 (18dB/oct Low Pass Filter) LPF18 3-pole 18dB/oct low-pass filter.
LPF12 (12dB/oct Low Pass Filter) LPF12 12dB/oct low-pass filter. This filter is designed to be used in con-
junction with a high-pass filter.
