● CC32 (---, 0~127, ALL)—This control change is the so-
called “LSB” bank select message. Select “---” if the cur-
rent setting must not change.
Note: References to the sounds of an SRX wave expansion
board can be changed by setting CC00 to “93” and CC32 to
the value that lets you access the desired group of sounds.
See page 251 for details.
● PC (---, 1~128, ALL)—Use this parameter to change the
address, a.k.a. program change number, of a sound (e.g.
from “1” to “2”). Select “---” if the current setting must
not change.
■INC/DEC
These are so-called “relative” changes: the positive or nega-
tive value you set here will be added to or subtracted from
the original values of the selected track(s). Use these fields
to increase or decrease existing values for the entire
selected track(s).
● Volume, Expression, Panpot, Reverb, Chorus (–127~
127)—These parameters allow you to add (+) or subtract
(–) a given value to/from the current Volume, Expression,
Pan, Reverb Send or Chorus Send values. This may come
in handy if the real-time changes you recorded turn out
to be too high or too low.
■EXECUTE
Press this field to confirm your settings and edit the data.
SHIFT CLOCK allows you to shift the notes within the selected FROM/TO range. It can be used for two things:• To correct “slow” notes due to a slow(er) attack.
You may want to use SHIFT CLOCK after assigning a sound
to a track that has a considerably slower attack than the
sound you used for recording the part in question. This
technique is frequently used in pop music to “time” 1/16-
note string arpeggios played with a “slow” pad sound.
Rather than have the notes begin at the mathematically
correct time (e.g. 2-1-0), you could shift them to the left
(e.g. to 1-4-115), so that the peak volume of the attack is
reached on the next beat:
• To correct the timing of notes recorded via MIDI without quantizing them.
You can use external sequences as raw material for your
songs. Recording such excerpts via MIDI may cause a slight
delay (e.g. 5 CPT). If that is not acceptable, use SHIFT CLOCK
to “push” the recorded data to the left (select “–5”). That
allows you preserve any irregularities the original may con-
tain because it was not quantized.
■TRACK (ALL, 1~16)
Allows you to select the track you wish to edit. You can
also select “ALL” here, in which case the operation applies
to all tracks.
■FROM
● BAR (1~[last measure of the track or song])—Refers to
the first measure to be edited. By default, the FROM
value is set to the beginning of the selected track(s).
● BEAT (1~[number of beats per bar])—Specifies the
beat position. The number of available beats depends on
the time signature in the selected area.
● CPT (1~119)—Refers to the starting CPT position. “CPT”
is short for “Clock Pulse Time”, the smallest unit used by
the E-80. (There are 120 CPTs to every beat of a 4/4 bar.)
Change this setting only if your edit operation should
start after the selected beat.
■TO
By default, the TO position is set to the last event of the
selected track (or the last event of the longest track when
you select “ALL”).
● BAR (1~[last measure of the track or song])—This is
where you specify the bar position of the last measure to
be edited.
