07: Shift Clock

The Shift Clock job will not shift data beyond the specified measure

range. Events near the beginning and end of the specified range may therefore sound “bunched” together in some cases.

Since the Move Clock job actually shifts the, timing of all notes and

other events in the specified measures forward or backward, it can significantly alter the “feel” of the song. You could move the notes forward (“+” set- tings) to create a more “laid back” feel, or backward (“–” set- tings) to produce a more “driv- ing” feel. Of course, you can also use Clock Move to correct timing that is off in the first place.

Moves all notes and events in the specified track and range of measures forward or backward by the specified number of clocks (96 clocks per 1/4 note).

The “TR” parameter selects the track to be affected by the Shift Clock job: “01” ... “16” for the sequencer tracks, or “Tmp” for the tempo track.

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 “Clock” parameter determines the direction and number of clocks by which the notes in the specified measure range will be shifted. “+” settings shift the notes forward (toward the end of the song) and "–" settings shift the notes backward (toward the beginning of the song). The range is from “-999” through “0” to “+999”.

After setting the parameters as required press [ENTER] to execute the Shift Clock 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.
