Adjusting phrase parameters

Once you have imported phrases into the phrase pool, you should specify parameters such as playback range and number of measures. The following parameters can be adjusted for each phrase individually.

• START/END (playback start/end point)

This parameter determines the playback start point and end point of the phrase in millisecond units. In the default condition, the parameter is set to the start and end of the imported data. This parameter can be used for example to extract only a part of a drum loop imported from CD-ROM.

• MEAS X (number of measures)

This parameter specifies to how many measures the range between the START/END parameter values corresponds. The parameter lets you compress or expand the playing duration of the phrase to match the tempo setting of the rhythm section. The setting range is 1 - 99 measures.

• TIMSIG (Beat)

This parameter specifies the number of beats per measure in the imported phrase. In combination with the MEAS X parameter, this determines the phrase length. The setting range is 1 (1/4) to 8 (8/4).

HINT

If you do not wish to match the phrase to the rhythm section

tempo, adjusting the MEAS X and TIMSIG parameters is not

necessary.

• NAME

This is the name assigned to the phrase.

• LVL (level)

This is the playback level of the phrase.

To adjust the above parameters, proceed as follows.
