TS-10 Musician’s Manual Section 11 — Sequencer Parameters

The Step Entry page looks something like this (depending on the settings):

Gate time

select

Beat ClockStep Rep Bar

Step Size

select

Step

command

current

track number

AutoStep

switch

Song only

TRK Range: 1 to 12 (read only)

The number of the currently selected track (on which you are recording) is shown in the upper

left corner of the display. It is displayed only to remind you which track is being recorded and it

cannot be selected or edited.

AUTOSTEP Range: OFF or ON

This switch determines whether key events will advance to the next defined time setting.

• ON — each individual key down event will cause a note to be recorded on the track and will

automatically advance the sequencer time by the amount set in the step size parameter. The

duration of the note is controlled by the gate time select parameter.

• OFF — key events do not automatically advance the sequencer time, and multiple events can

be recorded at the same track location (time).

If you use AUTOSTEP=ON for entering chords, the result will be an arpeggiated chord, similar to

a guitar chord being strummed. This is true because each note of the chord will advance the time

by the step size, causing older notes to have longer durations.

Tip: When AUTOSTEP=OFF, assigning a Foot Switch to STEP-REC (on the System page) allows you

to advance the sequencer time by the amount set in the step size parameter, whenever you press

the assigned foot switch. This makes it possible to record multiple events at the same track

location (time) before advancing to the next sequence step.

GATE-TIME Range: HELD, STEP, or 1/1 to 1/64T

The gate time (duration) value of a note is assigned when a key is released. This parameter

allows you to determine how long the source will sound before it is gated (cut-off).

• HELD — the amount of time that you hold down the key(s) while advancing the track will

determine the gate time. The time between key down and key release will be the duration.

• STEP — the duration of new notes will be the same as the current step size.

• 1/1 to 1/64T (and dotted note values 1/1D to 1/16D) — when you select any of these settings,

the displayed note value will be used for the duration. If you need finer resolution, or wish to

have longer gate times than a whole note (1/1), use the closest available value to enter the note

and then, after you have finished with Step Recording, use the Event Editor to precisely adjust

the duration.

TIME Range: (described below)

Allows you to set the current location on the track. The track location (or time) is normally

displayed as a three–part parameter when you are recording a sequence track, with two additional

parts added when a song track is being recorded. In sequence mode, the three parts are Bars,

Beats, and Clocks. In song mode, Step Number and Repetition Count fields are added to the left

of the Bars, Beats, and Clocks fields.
