[. . . ] · Be careful when deleting measures that contain effect on/off events -- e. g. If, for example, you delete a measure that contains a pitch bend off event, the pitch bend applied in a previous measure will remain in effect until the next pitch bend event is encountered. · The Delete Measure operation has no "undo" function, so be absolutely sure you want to delete the selected material before actually executing the delete operation. Delete Measures 4 through 6. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Measure 4 through 6 deleted. 1 2 3 7 8 9 Subsequent measures moved back. 1 2 3 4 5 6 s CREATE MEASURE Inserts a specified number of blank measures in all tracks (including the accompaniment track) at the specified measure number. Use the TOP LCD dial to specify the number of the measure at which the blank measures are to be inserted, and the SIZE LCD dial to specify the number of blank measures to be inserted. Once the top measure number and size have been selected, press the EXECUTE LCD button to actually execute the insert operation. The "Are you sure?" confirmation prompt will appear on the 58 The Sequencer display: press the YES LCD button to go ahead with the create measure operation, or the NO LCD button to cancel. "Executing. " will appear on the display while the operation is in progress, and "Completed. " will appear briefly when the operation has finished. NOTES Create measure, size 3, at measure 6. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Measure 6 moved up; 3 blank measures inserted. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Result with new measure numbers. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 · Create Measure affects all tracks simultaneously. The specified number of blank measures is inserted before the existing data beginning at the specified measure number. · The create measure operation has no "undo" function. s QUANTIZE Aligns notes in the specified track to the nearest specified beat. Use the TRACK LCD dial to select the track you want to quantize, and the SIZE LCD dial to specify the quantize size. Once the track number and quantize size have been selected, press the EXECUTE LCD button to actually execute the quantize operation. "Executing. " will appear on the display while the operation is in progress, and "Completed. " will appear briefly when the operation has finished. Immediately after execution an "UNDO" LCD button will appear on the left side of the display, and that button can be used to undo the quantize operation if it was executed by mistake. The undo func3 tion is only available until the next operation is performed. 3 The Quantize Sizes are: 1/4 = 1/6 = 1/8 = 1/12 = 1/16 = 1/24 = 1/32 = NOTES 3 1/4 note 1/4 note triplet 1/8 note 1/8 note triplet 1/16 note 1/16 note triplet 1/32 note One measure of 8th notes before quantization q q e eq e e After quantization eeq ee · Quantization is generally used to tighten up sloppy timing. Use it judiciously, however, because timing that is too perfect can sound cold and mechanical -- unless, of course, you're specifically aiming for a cold, mechanical feel. Always use a quantize value that is at 59 The Sequencer least as "short" as the shortest notes in the track to be quantized. If you quantize a track containing 16th notes to 1/8 (8th notes), for example, some of the 16th notes will be aligned with 8th note beats, thus ruining the track. s ERASE Erases all note and event (pitch bend, volume changes, etc. ) data from the specified measure or range of measures in the specified track (accompaniment track not available), leaving blank measures. Use the TRACK LCD dials to set the track number, the TOP LCD dial to set the number of the first measure in the range to be erased, and the LAST LCD dial to set the number of the last measure in the range to be erased. Once the track and measure numbers have been selected, press the EXECUTE LCD button to actually execute the erase operation. "Executing. " will appear on the display while the operation is in progress, and "Completed. " will appear briefly when the operation has finished. Immediately after execution an "UNDO" LCD button will appear on the left side of the display, and that button can be used to undo the erase operation if it was executed by mistake. The undo function is TRACK 1 Erase measures 4 through 6. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 TRACK 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Measures 4 -- 6 "blank, " containing only rests. only available until the next operation is performed. NOTES · An erase operation leaves the specified measures intact but blank. s NOTE SHIFT Shifts the pitch of notes in the specified measures of the specified track (accompaniment track not available) up or down by a maximum of two octaves, in semitone increments.
