Transposing a phrase (Transpose)

Transpose –24...24

This operation lets you transpose a phrase.

1.While you continue pressing the Transpose key, the display will indicate the current transposition status.

2.While holding down the Transpose key, rotate the dial to trans- pose the phrase in semitone steps. +/–1transposes the pitch by a semitone, +/–2by a whole tone, +/–7by a fifth, and +/– 12 by one octave.

While holding down the Transpose key you can also use the step keys or Select keys to transpose.

When you hold down the Transpose key and use the step keys to specify the transposition, step key 4 will correspond to the C pitch.

To transpose an individual part, use the Pitch Shift op- eration described below.

When you transpose the pitch, the Transpose key will light. If the value is set to 0, the key will go dark.

The Transpose value is not saved. The next time that the power is turned on, the value will be 0.

Moving data within a part

(Move Data)

The Move Data operation lets you move the phrase pattern and motion sequence data of a part backward or forward, or to shift the pitch of an entire part.

Move Data –16...16

Use this when you want to change the starting location of a pattern.

1.If the pattern is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop playback.

2.Hold down the Shift key and press step key 9 (Move Data). (Key 9 will blink.)

3.Turn off the Transpose key (the LED will go dark).

4.Use the Part select key to select the part whose data you wish to move. If you wish to select both parts 1 and 2, press the key several times to make both LEDs blink.

5.A number will blink in the display. Rotate the dial to select the number of steps and the direction (positive or negative) in which the data will be moved.

6.Press the blinking step key 9 to execute the Move Data opera- tion.

To cancel without executing, press the Stop/Cancel key.

The Move Data operation applied to all steps of the selected part. Data that is moved beyond the last step of the pattern will "wrap around" to the first step. For example if 64-step data is moved for "5" steps, the data that was in steps 60 through 64 will be moved to steps 1 through 5. Likewise, data that is moved earlier than the first step of the pattern will "wrap around"to the last step. For example if 48-step data is moved for "–3" steps, the data that was in steps 1 through 3 will be moved to steps 46 through 48.

With a setting of 3

The data of each step will be moved three steps toward the end of the pattern.

Example: 2 5, 6 9, 10 13, 14 1

Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16

Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16

With a setting of –2

The data of each step will be moved two steps toward the beginning of the pattern.

Example: 1 15, 3 1, 6 4, 10 8, 14 12

Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16

Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step	Step
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16

Pitch Shift –24...24

Use this when you want to shift the pitch data of all steps in a part.

1.If the pattern is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop playback.

2.Hold down the Shift key and press step key 9 (Move Data). (Key 9 will blink.)

3.Turn on the Transpose key (the LED will blink).

4.Use the Part select key to select the part whose pitch you wish to shift. If you wish to select both parts 1 and 2, press the key several times to make both LEDs blink.

5.A number will blink in the display. Rotate the dial to select the amount of pitch shift. +/–1transposes the pitch by a semitone, +/–2by a whole tone, +/–7by a fifth, and +/–12by one octave.

6.Press the blinking step key 9 to execute the Move Data opera- tion.

To cancel without executing, press the Stop/Cancel key.
