“Thins out” specified types of data by removing every other event of
the specified type. This is particularly useful for reducing the volume of data
required for pitch bends, aftertouch and other control change operations,
thus making more efficient use of the available memory.
The “TR” parameter selects the track to be affected by the Thin Out
job: “01” … “16” for the sequencer tracks, or “Tm” for the tempo track.
The “M” parameters above the graphic bar are used to specify the
first measure:beat and last measure:beat of the range to be modified.
The data type parameter determines the type of data to be thinned.
After setting the parameters as required press [ENTER] to execute
the Thin Out job. The metronome icon will appear on the display while the
data is being processed, then “Completed !” will appear briefly when the
job is done. Press the [EXIT] button to return to the job list, or a mode but-
ton to go directly to the selected mode.
PB Pitch bend events.
CC Control change events. When this event type is selected a con-
trol change number parameter appears to the right of the type
parameter. The control change parameter determines the MIDI
control change number to be thinned: “000” … “127”.
CAT Channel aftertouch events.
PAT Polyphonic aftertouch events.
TMP Tempo events (can only be selected for the Tm (Tempo) track).
