81Chapter 2. SONG MODE
2
• The Play Effects submode allows you to adjust various song-
play parameters, including quantizing, gate timing, and ve-
locity. This makes it possible to control and adjust timing
and articulation while playback is in progress. Note that
these adjustments do not cause changes in your recorded
data.
• Song playback remains available while you are in the Play
Effects submode. In particular, the p, s, t, r, and
f keys continue to function normally.
• If you want to modify the actual recorded data to reflect
your Play Effects adjustments, you can do so using the Nor-
malize Play Effects song job. (→ p.163.)
• Each song stores its own Play Effect settings. When you
change to a different song, the new song’s settings auto-
matically become effective.
• The Play Effects submode comprises three main pages to-
gether with two supplementary pages. You access the main
pages by pressing the appropriate function keys (1,
2, 3). You can access the supplementary page
(where available) by pressing 4.

use this page to set up the rhythm quantizing for each track.

and Velocity” page. You use this page to set the correspond-
ing values. Again, values are set separately for each track.

played on the current page.
