Can we "pencil" in notes with piano keys?

I want to be in Pencil mode, pick a spot on the Grid, and use my piano keys to put the notes on the Grid. In other words, use the Pencil mode but not tap the touch screen to specify the notes. I know how to play and record in real time, but I'm talking about a different method.

Can I do anything like this?

Thanks,
Joe

P.S. I have Key 61, but my question would be the same if I used a separate MIDI keyboard.

Thanks

Just wondering if it is the same OS like the MPCX you could use the list editor instead to step record with keys.

1. In the grid mode, put a note and cut it.
2, Tap the blue bar to move the current position.
3. Tap the pad (not MIDI key board) you want to input.
4. paste the note.

It's a painful process...

You can't step record notes in the Grid, but you can in the List Edit menu with over dub on. There's a 'Auto-advance on step record' function that lets you input notes one by one based on the TC value. I wish they would bring it to the Grid view, just like it is in the JJOS. I did post it as a feature request some time ago.

I haven’t tried the list editor yet at all. I’ll check it out.

Thanks!

I have both Keys61 and an MPC X, they are (95%) the same OS.

What’s up Lamp. Still at it just working on the engineering side of things more. I have mpc live on, mpc X and fantom 06. But I use the mpc X list edit with my keyboard all the time so I was thinking the keys should be able to do the same.

P.S for some reason my mailbox is full so I no longer get a notice if I get mail or replies.
