Step Write and Real Time Write

There are two different methods you can use to program rhythms: Step Write and Real

Time Write.

Step Write allows you to enter percussion sounds as individual note values. As a

method, it is very similar to writing down the notes on a sheet of music paper; each note

is entered one at a time, and though you can hear each individual note entered, you

cannot actually hear the pattern playing as you create it. Step Write is good for precision

and for entering percussion sounds whose note placement and rhythmic value has been

determined, such as a bass drum that plays every beat in a measure.

Real Time Write on the other hand, is similar to using a multi-track tape recorder; you

can hear previously recorded parts of the pattern as you record new parts on top. Real

Time Write is best for capturing the “feel” of a rhythm, because it allows you to actually

play the pattern as you are creating it.

Each method has its own advantages and uses. Which method you use depends partly

on the type of rhythm you intend to create and partly on your own personal preference.

You can switch between the two methods in editing to create a single rhythm by the use

of both methods. This would come handy, for example, in programming the basic beats

of a rhythm with Step Write, then using Real Time Write to add percussion accents and

embellishments.

Which mode of the operation is selected depends on the play status of the rhythm. If

the rhythm is stopped, Step Write is automatically selected. If the rhythm is playing,

Real Time Write is selected. See the instructions below for Step Write, and page 157 for

Real Time Write.
