Step-Time Recording

You can use a MIDI device and step-time recording to enter notes and chords at any speed. As you record in step time, the same default length for each note is used.

The default note length in a component is the same for note entry using the mouse and using step-time recording. It is determined by the Snap To setting used in the timeline of the component. For instance, if you use a Snap To setting of Beat, then each new note you enter has a default length of one beat, as determined by the time signature of the component. The default setting for Snap To is Grid. For information on setting the grid division in a style, see Setting a Style's Time Signature and Grid. For information on setting the grid division in a segment, see Time Signature Properties.

The default velocity is 100 for all notes you enter using step-time recording.
