The gate time setting determines the length of the note. You can set
the gate time either by using the beat and clock parameters, just as you
would to set the location of the note event (see page 152), or by selecting
a note type from the third gate time parameter (displayed in brackets).
Use the GATE TIME button to select the beat value, the clock
value, or the note type parameter, then use the data dial or the [–] and
[+] buttons to change the value of the selected parameter.
When setting the gate time, keep in mind that the gate time of a
note is generally set shorter than the timing interval for an equivalent
note. For example, although the timing of consecutive eighth notes
would differ by a clock value of 240, the note type parameter automati-
cally sets gate time clock value of each eighth note to 192. This pre-
vents the notes from running together.

Varying note lengths
You can vary the playing style by changing
the gate time of the notes in a song. De-
crease the gate time to make a note more
staccato; increase it to make the note more
tenuto.
Changing a Controller Setting..........................................................
Select the Control Change event you want to edit in the event list
for the appropriate track (1 through 16).
