A Guide to Using JUMP - Number of Steps

Number of Steps

Contents > Lead/Bass Motif Editor > Number of Steps

Use these buttons to specify how many steps are used in the motif. A Lead/Bass motif may use anything from 1 to 12 steps. Each motif can use a different number of steps.

The table below shows some typical situations.

Simple Medium Complex

4 beats/bar 1 or 2 4 or 8 8

3 beats/bar 1 or 3 6 or 9 9 or 12

Higher numbers of steps are not required because each step refers to an action rather than just a single note. One action may result in several notes being played.

The default number of steps for Lead/Bass motifs is 8. The Set Number of Steps for 3/4 Time function in the Options Menu changes all Lead/Bass motifs to use 6 steps.
