Step and Gate lengths (for notes and rests)

Not in the manual, and also not very interesting, but nonetheless I was curious about the values corresponding with the buttons.
So I tried them one by one.

Notes - when entering notes using the [ENTER] button in STEP mode. - Bold+Grey is the default setting.
note length:	1	1/2	1/4	1/8	1/16	1/32	triplets
note symbol:										panel buttons
rest symbol:										(not present on the panel)
STEP value:	192	96	48	24	12	6	32	16	8	> press [ENTER]

GATE value for:
- 0 REST (0%)	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
- 1 STACC (25%)	48	24	12	6	3	1	8	4	2
- 2 NON LEG (50%)	96	48	24	12	6	3	16	8	4
- 3 LEGATO (75%)	144	72	36	18	9	4	24	12	6
- 4 TIE (100%)	192	96	48	24	12	6	32	16	8
Dotted notes - when entering notes using the [BAR] button in STEP mode. - the table shows the values the 202 creates when pushing the corresponding button. - Red shows that note length "1 1/2" is not possible. It should have been STEP value '288'.
note length:	1 1/2	3/4	3/8	3/16	3/32	3/64	triplets
