Editing the fast way (p.20-23 manual)
Entering pitches in realtime to a metronome
The metronome always gives you 2 Measures before the actual recording starts.
Each Measure starts with a high note.
- playing live: play the internal or external keyboard in time with the metronome
- tapping live: enter the pitches first and then tap the timing to the metronome
| Playing live | Tapping live |
| go to EDIT PITCH | |
| play the keyboard: - enter the notes at ease one by one - do not enter rest notes, the 202 does that for you |
|
| arm realtime recording: | |
| - hold [SHIFT] + [REALTIME] | - hold [SHIFT] + [TAP] |
| - keep holding [SHIFT] the display shows the time setting: "4" means 4/4 time (see below) - optional: press the number [1..9] to change the timing of the metronome - press [START] - release [SHIFT] wait for 2 high pitches, and start playing on the 3rd high pitch |
|
| - play the keyboard | - use the 2 blue [TAP] buttons |
| - press [STOP] when done the MC-202 stops at the end of the current Measure |
|
Some remarks
New Measures are automatically created at each high beep.
A silent Measure will have the following rest note:
-
PITCH '3C', STEP=(depends on the time setting, see table below), GATE=0
When the MC-202 is in slave mode:
- the (DIN Sync) speed is regulated by the master
-
if the unit seems to hang upon [START]: remove the "sync in" cable and it unlocks
