6Creating Original Patterns
Increases or decreases the gate times (length) of all notes in the
specified track and range of measures.
The “rate” parameter sets the ratio between
the shorter and longer gate time values. A setting
of “100%” maintains the original relationship
between the notes, lower values produce a nar-
rower gate time range, and higher values pro-
duce a broader gate time range.
The “offset” parameter determines the amount
of gate time modification. “−” settings shorten
the gate time while “+” settings increase the gate
time.
After setting the parameters as required, press
[ENTER]. “Are you sure?” will appear on the
display. Press [+1/YES] to confirm that you
want to go ahead with the modify gate time op-
eration, or press [−1/NO] to cancel.

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