Hey Doron. Looks like nobody answered your question. Unusual since a lot of people use step record and they will usually tell you why and how. Some folks use step record to do just that - record step by step. Note by note. VERY time consuming - for me, anyway. I use step record to add to a style, a note here, a note there. Usually subtle changes to enhance the sound. Mostly though, I use step record to look into the bowels of the style since it will show me all the secrets of it's build up, or all the mistakes I will need to correct to bring the style up to par. It takes a while and a bit of experimenting to get the hang of this function, but it will be worth the effort. The same goes for the sequencer - once you get to know them, they will become your good friends.
