New Style Track and Song Track Editing Tools

Version 2 comes with a comprehensive collection of editing tools you can use for editing both style tracks and song tracks. Each tool has its own parameters that set up how the tool works. (We’ll discuss these parameters below.) Most of the tools operate in the same way.

•To begin editing a style track—hold down the STYLE button for a couple of seconds to display the STYLE COMPOSER screen, and then press the MENU button to display the Style Edit Menu. You can also get here from the STYLE COMPOSER ZOOM screen by highlighting “EDIT” and pressing ENTER.

•To begin editing a song track—With the SONG button lit, press the PART VIEW button until the SONG TRACK screen is visible, and then press the MENU button to display the Song Edit Menu.

The two menus are nearly identical. They differ only in the last two items in each menu, as we’ll see (these last two items aren’t shown above).

To use one of the Edit Menu tools:

1Highlight it and press the ENTER button—this causes the selected tool’s screen and parameters to be displayed.

Certainly the most important editing parameter to set on the editing screens is the Part parameter that selects the style or song track on which the edit is to be performed. To perform the edit on all parts in a single operation, set Part to ALL.

If you select the wrong tool from the Style or Song Edit Menu by mistake, you can select the correct one at the top of each edit tool’s screen.

2Set up the tool’s behavior as desired, and then cursor down to

EXECUTE.

Operations you perform with the editing tools are permanent, so be sure you want to proceed before you execute an operation.

3Press the ENTER button to perform the edit you’ve set up.

4Press the EXIT button to leave the screen and listen to your edit.

Quantize

Quantize corrects timing mistakes you’ve made during recording by moving your notes so that they land more precisely at the lines of a rhythm grid of your choosing.

You can make note timing perfect by using full-strength (100%) quantizing, or shift them more subtly with lower strength percentages for a more “human” effect. You can also quantize only a portion of a track, or only a selected note range if you like.
