Change Mode Editing

The “Change” edit mode is initially selected when the edit mode is engaged. To edit any note in the song or phrase, simply move the cursor to the appropriate line, and then to the required parameter within that line. For numeric values any data entry method can be used to select a new value for the selected parameter. When the cursor is located at the note length or volume symbol, the numeric keypad can be used to directly enter the note lengths of volume symbols marked on the keys. The edited line will flash when any parameter within it is changed. This indicates that a change has been made but has not yet been entered. Press the [ENTER] key to actually enter the changes, or move the cursor to another line to cancel the changes.

Beat-Clock (Location)

The first column contains the note timing data. The left number (not the measure number, which is the leftmost number on the current line) is the 1/4- note beat within the current measure (1 through 4 in a 4/4 measure), and the right number is the clock within that beat (00 through 95). The beat and clock values can be selected and edited independently.

Note

This is the actual pitch of the note. The range is from C-2 to G8.

Gate Time

Gate time is the length of the note in clocks. A normal 1/4 note, for example, is 86 clocks long. This is about 90% of the actual length of a 1/4-note division, which is 96 clocks. The “normal” length of the note is slightly shortened to prevent notes from running into each other and sounding slurred ( a slur is produced by setting the full note length). The left number is 1/4-note beats (96- clock units) and the right number is clocks. The range is from 00-00 to 99-95. If you don’t want to enter note lengths using numbers, simply place the cursor at the note length symbol to the right of the numeric note length value and use the numeric keypad to directly enter the desired note length. The available note-length symbols are marked on the keys. The numeric value will change accordingly.
