2 – Advanced techniques
When both LOCATE LIST (µ/≤ ) keys are held down together in “bars and beats” mode, the display looks something like this:
directly, but change, together with the absolute time value, as the DATA dial is turned:
NOTE
Use the cursor (¶,§) keys to select the mark to trim, and press the ¥ cursor key to show the trim screen. Selecting a point to edit shows the bars and beats below the absolute time value. The bars and beats cannot be set
IN, OUT and TO points do not show the bars/beats value when being edited.
Metronome
To help you keep in time, the unit provides an internal metronome function and a MIDI metronome function. The internal metronome function allows you to listen to the metronome on the unit, while the MIDI metronome function generates a metronome output on the MIDI interface.
1Press MENU, use the DATA dial or cursor (¶,§ ) keys to select the MIDImenu, and press the ¥ cursor or YES/ENTER key.
2Select the METRONOMEitem, and press the ¥ cursor or YES/ENTER key.
ªWhen “INTERNAL” is selected at “Output” [internal metronome]
The unit’s internal metronome (not an external sound source) can be output to headphones and LINE OUTPUT L/R.
Mode Select from REC ONLY(only at recording) and REC&PLAY(at recording and playback).
T I P
The internal metronome is not output in the following instances:
•While the BOUNCE key is lit
•While the MASTER key is flashing or is lit
LEVEL Set the output level of the metronome within the range 0 to 127. (The output level cannot be adjusted on the MASTER fader.)
ªWhen “MIDI” is selected at “Output” [MIDI metronome]
This setting generates a metronome output via the MIDI interface. Generally, percussion type sounds are used as the metronome. Any sound, of course, can be produced.
You can select MIDI channel, note/note on velocity of a regular click, and note/note on velocity of an accent.
Scroll the list to set the following parameters:
Mode Select from REC ONLY(only at recording) and REC&PLAY(at recording and playback).
MIDI Ch The MIDI channel on which the metronome signals are output.
T I P
Channel 10 is defined as the default drum channel for all General MIDI devices.
AccNote The note played at the start of each bar. C3 is equivalent to MIDI note 60.
AccVelo The velocity (which typically affects the volume) of the note at the start of each bar.
NrmNote The note played at each beat, except at the start of each bar. C3 is equivalent to MIDI note 60.
NrmVelo The velocity (which typically affects the volume) of the note at each beat, except the start of each bar.
When“ OFF” is selected at“ Output”
The metronome function is disabled, and no items other than Output are displayed.
