Step Time recording involves recording an arpeggio one event at a time. When recording in Step Time, the strings can be entered individually for the entire pattern. Use the following procedure to create an arpeggio using the Step Time method: <\/p>\n
1. Select Patch H83.
2. Use the EDIT TARGET dial to select “ARPEGGIO\/harmony.”
3. Press EDIT\/PLAY.
4. Use the PARAMETER SELECT dial to select “[D]” and use the [+] \/ [-] buttons to select a tempo of “140.”
5. Use the PARAMETER SELECT dial to select “[C]” and use the [+] \/ [-] buttons to select a duration of “30.”
6. Use the PARAMETER SELECT dial to select [A] or [B].
7. Press PEDAL 1 so that “toP” is displayed.
8. Pluck string 4 and stop immediately. “G.01” will be displayed indicating that the fourth string has been input as the first event. <\/p>\n
TIP: In Step Time mode, each of the pedals has a different function that can be extremely useful for entering arpeggio patterns. The pedals can be used as follows:
*
Pedal 1 [BEGIN\/END] Used to start and stop the pattern.
*
Pedal 2 [TIE(ENTER)] Used to create a tie.
*
Pedal 3 [REST] Used to create a rest.
*
Pedal 4 [TO TOP] Used to return to the beginning of the pattern.
*
Patch Minus Button [-] Used to erase the latest operation and back up by one.<\/p>\n

9. Press PEDAL 2 once to advance to the next event (G.02).
10. Pluck string 4 twice and stop it immediately. The display should advance two events (G.04) indicating that we have tied the previous two events.
11. Repeat steps 9 and 10 three more times to advance to “G.16.”
12. Press PEDAL 4 to return to the beginning of the pattern and repeat steps 8-11 for strings 5 and 6.
13. Press PEDAL 3 twice so that “G.02” is displayed.
14. Play strings 2 and 3 at the same time and stop them together so that “G.03” is displayed.
15. Press PEDAL 3 twice so that “G.05” is displayed.
16. Play strings 2 and 3 at the same time and then press PEDAL 2 so that “G.07” is displayed.
17. Play strings 2 and 3 at the same time again so that “G.08” is displayed.
18. Play string 1 once and press PEDAL 2 two times so that “G.11” is displayed.
19. Play string 3 once and press PEDAL 2 two times so that “G.14” is displayed.
20. Play string 2 once and press PEDAL 2 once to advance to “G.16” and end the input for strings 1, 2 and 3.
21. Press PEDAL 1 to stop the recording and strum the guitar to check your arpeggio. You should now have a dance-type synth arpeggio.
22. Use the PARAMETER SELECT dial to select “WRITE TOÖ” and use the [+] \/ [-] buttons to select a Patch location.
23. Use the PARAMETER SELECT dial to select “WRITE PATCH?” and press the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously to store the arpeggio pattern into memory. <\/p>\n
You should now be able to select Tones, assign Tones, and create an arpeggio using either the Real Time or Step Time methods. Keep in mind that both methods can be used to create incredible arpeggios. The method you use is simply a matter of personal preference. Once you’ve learned the basics, you can move on to creating more advanced patterns.
