7. Pattern Jobs
This job alters the gate times of the designated range of
notes (pitches) in the specified segment of the selected user
phrase. The gate time refers to the length of time that a note
is held. For non-percussive voices, the gate time is equal to
the actual playback time span.
Using this job, you can choose to change all targeted notes
to some fixed gate time, or you can apply a relative (linear)
adjustment to the original gate times.
If making a relative adjustment, you use two parameters:
the Rate and the Offset. The Rate value applies a propor-
tional change to the gate time, while the Offset value (which
is applied after the Rate adjustment) adds a fixed value. The
relation is as follows:
Adjusted gate time = (original gate time X Rate) + Offset.
If the adjustment result is less than 1, the QY700 sets the
value to 1.
For full information about this job’s parameters and opera-
tion, refer to the explanation for the SONG-mode version
of the job, on page 147. But note that the PATTERN-mode
job applies to a user phrase rather than a sequence track,
and that maximum segment length for a phrase is 256 meas-
ures.
