The EDIT button is an on/off switch with an associated LED. All operations as discussed so far assume that EDIT is off. When edit is on, individual note editing can be achieved in part mode, and the list of parts in a song can be edited in song mode. To exit EDIT mode, press EDIT again (the LED will turn off), or select PART or SONG, which automatically turns EDIT off.

7.1Editing a PART

When EDIT is pressed while in PART mode (PART LED lit), individual MIDI events can be edited. The eight track buttons are used to select which track is being edited. Only one track can be edited at a time (only one track is lit at a time). The display now shows the MIDI information of the selected track as follows:

The first three digits are the beat number, followed by the sub-beat count (00-95), followed by the note value, followed by the note velocity (01-127), followed by the note's duration (in beats and sub-beats), followed by the note's MIDI channel (1-16). The cursor is under the beat number, indicating that it can be changed with the keypad or the +/- buttons. To access the other parameters, the page up and page down buttons are used. They move the cursor as shown in the following displays:

The cursor moves to the next parameter, and will "loop around" past the last parameter back to the first. The MIDI channel is the channel that the note is output on if the track's MIDI channel is assigned to UNCHANGED. If the track is assigned to a specific channel, the original channel number will be shown in parenthesis. The note's MIDI channel can still be changed, but no effect will be heard unless the track's MIDI channel is assigned to UNCHANGED (see "MIDI CHANNEL").

Other MIDI information is displayed as follows: (This information will only be displayed if it has been entered into the sequence beforehand. See "Adding An Event".) For pitch bend, the display includes the beat, the sub-beat, MIDI channel, and pitch bend amount. The pitch bend range is from -8191 to +8192. The page up and page down displays scroll as follows:
