Editing notes

Here’s how to edit the notes you input.

  1. Long-press the step button of the step that contains the performance data you want to change.
  2. The performance data of the selected step is shown.
  3. Hold down the step button of the step that contains the performance data you want to change and press the [GRANULAR] pad to select the performance data to edit.
  4. When you press the [GRANULAR] pad while holding down a step button, the display switches in the following order.

    Explanation

    Note number

    n. C-n. G9 (C-1–G9)

    Sets the note number.

    For instance, C´5 is shown as n.Cģ5.

    • If a chord has been input, the lowest note number in the chord is shown. When you edit this value, the other notes change accordingly.

    Velocity

    v. 1v.127

    Sets the velocity.

    • If a chord has been input, the highest velocity value used in the chord is shown. After you edit this value, the other notes are set to the same value.

    Probability

    You can use the probability feature to make a pattern play in different variations, while that same pattern keeps playing back.

    Use the master probability setting when you want to change the probability en masse, for all steps that are set at 90 or lower.

    • The effect is applied to all notes in the step.

    P. 0P.100

    This makes the notes trigger based on the probability you specify.

    When the [ó] button is unlit, the probability is applied to all notes in the step.

    When the [ó] button and [KYBD] button are lit, the probability is applied to only the selected note.

    P.1st

    The notes play only the first time.

    P. n1

    The notes don’t play the first time, but play each time afterwards.

    P.1_2P.8_8

    When the pattern is set to repeatedly play back, the notes repeat only up to the specified number of times.

    For example, when you use a setting of “P.2_4”, the pattern plays four times repeatedly, but the notes are triggered only on the second time.

    Gate time

    G. 0G.150

    Sets the gate time (note length).

    MEMO

    • When the total of the gate time and micro-timing values are 100 or greater, and the same note number is input in the next step, this is played as a tie.
      If the same note number is input for the last and the first steps in the pattern, this is also played as a tie.
    • If a chord has been input, the longest gate time is shown.
      When you change the gate time, the same value is set for all notes.

    Micro-timing

    t.-50t. 99 (%)

    This shifts the timing used to play back notes, either forward or backward.

    Negative values make the playback earlier than the starting time of each step, and positive values make the playback later.

    MEMO

    • When Play Quantize is set to “ON”, the Play Quantize setting is given priority, and the micro-timing setting is disabled.
    • When you’ve inputted notes in real time with the Rec Quantize setting (see “Recording your performance in real time (Real-time input)”) set to “ON”, the micro-timing is input with a setting of zero (the micro-timing setting is disabled).

    Sub step

    Divides up the step to play.

    For example, when ooÈ is indicated, the step is divided into three parts, with the first and second parts being played and the third part not played.

    • This affects all notes within the step.
    • This has no effect on steps for which notes have not been specified, or on steps that are in the middle of a tie.
  6. Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob while holding down the step button to change the value.

MEMO

  1. You can restore the pattern settings to how they were before they were edited.
    Refer to “Restoring the current pattern settings to their original state” for details.
  2. You can also restore just the pattern sequence data to how it was before editing.
    Refer to “Restoring the sequence data of the current pattern” for details.
