The “Offset” parameter allows you to change all gate time values by
an absolute amount. “-” settings will decrease the gate time of each note
by the corresponding amount, “+” settings will increase the gate time
accordingly. The range is from “-9999” through “0” to “+9999”.
New Gate Time = Original Gate Time x rate/100 + offset
(If the right side of the equation is 0 or less, the New Gate Time
becomes 1)
After setting the parameters as required press [ENTER] to execute
the Modify Gate Time 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 button to go directly to the selected mode.

NOTE
• The Modify Gate Time job can be used to produce a more staccato or legato feel, as
required. Experiment with the parameters to get a feel for what they do..
