The Modify Velocity job is a great way to “soften” the sound of material that

has too great a variation between the softest and loudest notes, or, conversely, to add extra punch to dull-sounding material. Experiment with the parameters to get a feel for what they do.

New Velocity = Original Velocity x rate/100 + offset

(If the right side of the equation is less than 0, the New Velocity becomes 1.)

After setting the parameters as required press [ENTER] to execute the Modify Velocity job. The metronome icon will appear on the display while the data is being processed, then “Completed” will appear briefly when the job is done. Press the [F6] key (“Exit”) to return to the job list, or a mode key to go directly to the selected mode.

03: Modify Gate Time

Increases or decreases the gate times (length) of all notes in the specified track and range of measures.

The “TR” parameter selects the track to be affected by the Modify Gate Time job: “01” ... “16”.

The “M” parameters above the graphic bar are used to specify the first measure:beat and last measure:beat of the range to be modified.

The “rate” parameter sets the ratio between the shorter and longer gate time values. A setting of “100%” maintains the original relationship between the notes, lower values produce a narrower gate time range, and higher values produce a broader gate time range. The range is from “0%” to “200%”.

The “offset” parameter determines the amount of gate time modification. “-” settings shorten the gate time while “+” settings increase the gate time. The range is from “-99” through “0” to “+99”.
