Delete Measure

This operation deletes unwanted measures from a pattern, and joins the remaining measures together.

If a part contains data following the deleted region, the performance data of that part will be shortened by the corresponding length. If you specify all parts as the object of the delete operation, the pattern itself will be shortened.

Insert Measure

This operation inserts blank measures between the specified measure of a pattern and the following measure. If you want to add more playing in the middle of a existing performance, use this operation to insert one or more blank measures, and then record the additional performance. The inserted measures will have the same time signature as the time signature preceding the insert location.

Transpose

This operation shifts the note numbers (pitch) of one or more parts in the pattern. You can transpose the notes in a range of +/-2 octaves.

Change Duration

This operation modifies the velocity (strength) or duration (the length that the note is held) of the notes recorded in the pattern. You can use Change Duration to give the overall performance a staccato feel or tenuto feel.

If this operation would result in a velocity greater than 127 (or less than 1), the resulting velocity data will be limited to 127 (or 1).

Shift Clock

This operation shifts the timing of the performance data recorded in the pattern backward or forward in units of one clock (1/96th of a beat). Use this when you want to slightly shift the overall performance.
