Gate Time & Velocity Modify

The parameters in this screen make it easy to increases or decreases the gate times (length) and velocity of all notes in the specified track.

The gate time can be modified to give the entire track a more

staccato or legato feel, as re- quired.

Modifying the velocity is a great way to “soften” the sound of a track that has too great a variation between the softest and loudest notes, or, conversely, to add extra punch to a dull-sounding track. Experiment with the pa- rameters to get a feel for what they do.

The "G.Rat" (gate rate) parameter sets the ratio between the shorter and longer gate time values. A setting of “100%” maintains the original relation- ship, between the notes, lower values produce a narrower gate time range (minimum 1%), and higher values produce a broader gate time range (maxi- mum 200%).

The “V.Rat” (velocity rate) parameter sets the ratio between the lower and higher velocity values. A setting of “100%” maintains the original relationship between the notes, lower values produce a narrower dynamic range (minimum 1%), and higher values produce a broader dynamic range (maximum 200%).

The “V.Ofs” (velocity offset) parameters determines the amount of velocity change. "–" settings reduce the velocity while “+” settings increase the velocity. The range is from “–99” through “00” to “+99”.

The “Per Track” Display

In addition to the playback effect displays described above the QY300 provides a “per track” display which shows all parameters for all effects for one track at a time. Only the sound of the selected track will be monitored when this display is selected. Press the [F1] function key (“perTR”) to select the per track display.

The individual effects and parameters are exactly the same as those described above. To select a track, move the cursor to the track number bar at the top of the display, then move the cursor sideways to select the track you want to program.
