the cursor is at each field, you can move the current location in units of measures/beats/10
ticks/1 tick.
B Time field
Shows the time of the current location within the sequence. If loop playback is occurring,
this shows the time from when playback began until now.

Selects the unit for timing correction (quantization). You can choose from the following
units.
1/8...........................8th note (minimum unit 480 ticks)
1/8[3] ......................8th note triplets (minimum unit 320 ticks)
1/16.........................16th note (minimum unit 240 ticks)

D Swing field
Specifies the amount of swing, in a range of 50–75 (%). The value of this field indicates
the length of the upbeats in proportion to the length of one beat. As you increase this
value, note events located on the upbeats will be moved further back, producing a greater
sense of swing.
This field will be displayed only if the Timing Correct field is set to 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, or
1/64. If you move the cursor to the TC field ( 3 ) or the Swing field ( 4 ) and press the
[WINDOW] key, the Timing Correct popup window will
appear, allowing you to apply timing correction to note events that have
already been recorded.
E Metronome field
Switches the metronome on/off.
If you move the cursor to this field and press the [WINDOW] key, the Metronome popup
window will appear, allowing you to make various settings for the metronome.
