Chapter 2. SONG MODE
1. Press d [D1] to move the cursor into the location
area.
2. Select the target measure using the data dial, n/y,
or the numeric keypad.
• When you change the measure, the beat automatically sets
to 1.
3. Measure, Beat, and Clock count
• These values give the precise location of the MIDI event
within the song.
• By changing the measure, beat, or clock count, you change
the time at which the event occurs.
Measure: Indicates the measure at which the event oc-
curs.
Beat: Indicates the beat (within the measure) at
which the event occurs.
Clock count:Indicates the place within the beat at which
the event occurs. Each beat is divided into 480
clock cycles (000 to 479). A clock count of
000 indicates that the event occurs at the ex-
act start of the beat. A value of 240 indicates
that the event occurs at the middle of the beat.

Measure 001,...,999
Beat 01,...,08 (but varies according to meter)
Clock count 000,...,479 (but varies according to meter)
1. Move the cursor to the measure, beat, or clock-count
entry for the event whose time you want to change.
2. Enter the new value using the data dial, n/y, or
the numeric keypad.
▼The event line flashes on the screen. The value is not regis-
tered until you press e .
3. Press e to register the change.
▼The line stops flashing, and the new timing values are shown.
• If you move the cursor while the line is still flashing, the
change is canceled.
4. Event name and parameter values
• When you record a performance onto a sequence track, you
are recording it as a series of MIDI events. Each event cor-
responds to a specific MIDI action. The striking of a note is
a “note event”, the switching of a voice is a “program change
event”, and so on.
• Most event specifications must include information indi-
cating how the event is to be carried out. A note-event speci-
fication, for example, must identify the note (the note name),
the note’s time span (the gate time), and the note’s force
(the velocity). Each of these information requirements is
referred to as a parameter. (The actual value that a param-
eter takes is referred to as a parameter value or argument.)
• The first item on the event list is Top, while the last item is
End. These items are for marking purposes only; they do
not represent events, and they cannot be edited.
