●[F2]-08 Sort Chord

This job sorts chord events (simultaneous note events) by order of pitch. The sort affects the order of the notes in the Event List display (page 190), but does not change the timing of the notes.

When used to pre-process chords before using the Chord Separate job (described later), Chord Sort can be used to simulate the “stroke” or strumming sound of guitars and similar instruments.

• Roll Velocity

Determines the velocity of the notes in the roll. Both the starting and ending velocity values can be specified, making it easy to create rolls in which the velocity increases or decreases.

This lets you create rolls that gradually increase or decrease in volume (crescendo/decrescendo) — a technique often used in dance music.
