VA-76 – User Style Edit mode

Insert

[FUNCTION MENU] button[User Style Composer] field[Edit] field[Insert]

The Insert function allows you to insert space in an existing pattern. This means that all data lying behind the position calculated by the “For” parameter are shifted further towards the end of the pattern, effec- tively making the pattern longer. You can only insert blank measures here.

Track, Mode, Type, Division— See page 178 for

details.

From/For— “From” allows you to specify the position where the selected number of bars, beats, and CPT is to be inserted.

“For”, on the other hand, specifies how many bars, beats, and CPTs are to be inserted.

The Microscope mode also provides an Insert func- tion (see page 182) that allows you to add events with- out shifting the subsequent events towards the end.

Bar, Beat, CPT— See page 178 for details.

Execute— Press this field to confirm your settings and insert the requested number of bars, beats, and CPTs.

Transpose

[FUNCTION MENU] button[User Style Composer] field[Edit] field[Trnspose]

Transpose is used to change the pitch of the selected pattern (the other non-note data obviously cannot be transposed). Use this function with great caution because the Key value (see page 166) is not updated – even if you transpose entire track(s). We therefore sug- gest you only use it for parts of an Intro or Ending pat- tern – for example a difficult phrase you have recorded only once and then copied using Copy (see page 184).

In other words, never transpose an entire pattern as that will invariably lead to a lot of confusion in the Arranger mode.

Track, Mode, Type, Division— See page 178 for details.

When combined with “From Note/Than Note” and “To Note” (see below), Track Transpose is also useful for the ADrums track. It allows you to select another snare or kick sound, for example.

From/To— See page 178.

Bar, Beat, CPT— See page 178 for details.

Value (–24~+24)—This parameter is used to set the transposition interval in semi-tone steps. If you wish to transpose a C pattern to D, enter the Value +2.

Note: Be careful when applying Transpose to the ADrums track. After all, transposing all notes of this track would mean that the drum part changes dramatically.

From Note/Than Note, To Note— See page 149.

Execute— Press this field to confirm your settings and edit the data.

Velocity

[FUNCTION MENU] button[User Style Composer] field[Edit] field[Velocity]

The Velocity function allows you to modify the dynamics (called velocity) of a track or excerpt. See page 150 for details. Only note events can be changed, which is why you cannot select the data type.

Track, Mode, Type, Division— See page 178 for

details.

From/To— See page 178.

Bar, Beat, CPT— See page 178 for details.

Value (–126~+126)—The Value parameter allows you to set the velocity change level. Select a positive value to increase the velocity of the selected track(s), or a negative value to decrease the velocity values.

Note: Even the highest positive or negative Value doesn’t allow you to go beyond “1” or “127”.

From Note, To Note— See page 149.

Execute— Press this field to confirm your settings and edit the data.
