Dialog box reference ► Step Record dialog

Press SHIFT+R to open the Step Record dialog box. Step recording lets you specify step size and note duration so you can record difficult passages a step at a time. Step Record always uses the Sound on Sound record mode, regardless of the current record mode.
The Step Record dialog box has an extra set of controls called Advanced mode that only appear when you click the Adv. button. The Step Record dialog box has the following fields:
*
Click N to create a custom step size.
*
Click the Tuplet check box, and enter values in the two adjacent number fields to create a tuplet step size
*
Click Follow Step Size to keep the duration values the same as the step size.
*
If you don’t check Follow Step Size, fill in a value in the % of note value field to set duration.
*
If you don’t check Follow Step Size, you can randomize the duration by the value you enter in the Randomize By field (Advanced mode only).
If you don’t select the Use Input check box for a particular note property, you can specify any or all of a note’s pitch, velocity, and channel characteristics.
*
Auto Advance. If this option is checked, the insertion point moves ahead automatically when you release a note.
*
Link to Now Time (Advanced mode only). If this option is checked, the insertion point duplicates the Now Time.
*
Delete on Back Step. If this option is checked, a note or notes are deleted when you click the Step Backward button.
*
Offset (Advanced mode only). You can enter a value in this field to enter notes at a constant distance away from the insertion point. You can enter a positive (after the insertion point) or negative value (before the insertion point).
Click the Adv. button to display the advanced options. Click the Basic button to display only the basic options.
