timing exactly with the 1/32-note steps. However, if you
select triplet-type notes for the note length (LENGTH) in
step 6 below, the timing is automatically corrected.

Correcting the data

* ) you wish
to edit.
• The data stored at that point is shown on the display.
• When multiple data is stored at one point, different data
is displayed in order each time a CURSOR button is
pressed. When a chord is recorded, a different note in
the chord is displayed each time a CURSOR button is
pressed.
3. Correct the data.
There are three types of data:
Performance data
NOTE data (note pitch) and VEL data (how hard the key was
played) and LEN data (1 = 1/96 of a quarter note [ ]) are
displayed. Use the relevant buttons to correct the data as
desired.
Sound data
The name of the sound is displayed. Change the sound as
desired (the sound setting display is interposed on the current
display).
Control data
The name of the function is displayed. Change the data as
desired.
