Roland Piano Thinning Out the Sequencer Data Data Thin, Editing Songs, Channel MIDI Channel, Time

Channel (MIDI Channel)

Selects the MIDI channel of the data to be shifted in time.

To shift clocks of all sequencer data, set this parameter to ALL. To shift the sequencer data clock of just one specific MIDI channel, select that MIDI channel.

Value: ALL, 1–16

If you set the Track parameter to “TEMPO,” or if the Status parameter is set to “EXC,” “TUNE” or “PTN,” the Channel parameter will not be available.

7.When you have finished making settings, press [8 (Execute)] to execute the operation.

Thinning Out the Sequencer Data (Data Thin)

Continuously variable controllers such as aftertouch, pitch bend, and expression tend to create unexpectedly large amounts of data when operated. Data Thin will strip out redundant data to increase the amount of memory available for the sequencer.

1.Access the Song Edit screen, and then load the song you want to edit (p. 136).

2.Press [8 (Track Edit)].

The Track Edit window appears.

3.Press or to select “Data Thin,” and then press [8 (Select)].

A message of “DATA THIN: Select target point.” appears.

4.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the first measure of the track or pattern whose sequencer data you want to thin. If you want to specify all tracks, press [7 (TrkAll)].

5.Hold down [SHIFT] and press to move the cursor to the last measure of the track or pattern whose sequencer data you want to thin, and press [8 (Select)] to specify it.

The Track Edit (Data Thin) window appears.

6.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the desired parameter, and turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to make the setting. First check the region that is to be affected by the operation, and correct it if necessary.

Editing Songs

Track

Check/modify the track(s) or pattern whose sequencer data will be thinned.

Value

ALL: Phrase tracks 1–16, the beat track, and the tempo track

TRK 1–TRK 16: The specified phrase track

PTN001–PTN100:The specified pattern

Measure, for (Edit Range)

Check/modify the range of measures whose sequencer data will be thinned. If you set “for” to “ALL,” all measures will be specified.

Value

For thinning data which incorporates rapid changes, use higher settings. If you don’t want to thin that much data even though it is subject to rapid change, use lower settings.

Time

If you are thinning data that changes gradually over time, use higher settings. If you don’t want to thin that much data even though the changes are gradual, use lower settings.

Status

Selects the type of data to be thinned.
Value
ALL: All following sequencer data types
P.AFT: Polyphonic Aftertouch	Songs
C.C: Controller numbers
C.AFT: Channel Aftertouch
BEND: Pitch Bend	Editing
Range
If you set the Status parameter to “P.AFT” or “C.C,” specify the
range of data. Specify the minimum value of the range at the left,
and the maximum value at the right.

•To thin all Polyphonic Aftertouch data, set “C-1–G9.” To thin C4 Polyphonic Aftertouch data, set “C4–C4.” To thin Polyphonic Aftertouch data from C3 to C4, set “C3–C4.”

•To thin all Controller numbers, set “0–127.” To thin number 4, set “4–4.” To thin numbers from 3 to 14, set “3–14.”

Channel (MIDI Channel)

Selects MIDI channel of the data to be thinned.

To thin all sequencer data, set this parameter to ALL. To thin sequencer data of just one specific MIDI channel, select that MIDI channel.

Value: ALL, 1–16

7.When you have finished making settings, press [8 (Execute)] to execute the operation.
