Specifying the Area of a Song that
will Repeat (Loop Points)
When using Loop Play or Loop Recording, you can use the loop
points you specify here to specify the repeated area, as an alternative
to repeating the specified number of measures.
1.
Press EDIT [SONG] to access the MIDI TRACK screen.
2.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press SONG RECORDER [LOOP].
The Loop Play window will open, with the Loop function still off.
* If you press [LOOP] without holding down [SHIFT], the Loop
function will turn on and the Loop Play window will open.
3.
Move the cursor to the desired parameter, and use the
VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to make the setting.
Parameter Explanation
Repeat Times Number of repeats
Value: INF, 1–99
If you want repetition to continue until you press
[STOP], set this to "INF."
Start Point (S) Location at which repetition is to begin
If you press [F3 (START)], the current location of the
song will be set as the starting location.
End Point (E) Location at which repetition will end
If you press [F4 (END)], the current location of the
song will be set as the ending location.
* The location you specify here will not be included
in the repeated area.
4.
If you press [LOOP] to make it light, or press [F5 (LOOP)] to
add a check mark (✔); looping will be turned on.
5.
Press [F6 (CLOSE)] to close the window.
Editing a Song (MIDI Track)
Aligning a Song's Timing
(Quantize)
In the chapter "Recording a Song (MIDI Track)" (p. 87), we
explained Recording Quantize, which lets you quantize during
realtime recording. Alternatively, it is also possible to quantize a
song that has already been recorded.
The JUNO-G has a Preview function that allows playing back the
results of a Quantize operation while you are still setting parameters
(before actual execution). This helps to make optimal Quantize settings.
Preview Function
The Preview function allows you to hear how quantizing will
work while you are still setting Quantize parameters (before
you execute operation). If you modify parameter values during
preview playback, the next preview playback will include those
latest value changes. Try various parameter settings to find the
one that works best.
* You can't preview the playback of a MIDI track that's muted.
* You can't change the Quantize Type while using the Preview
function.
Pressing [PLAY] when the Quantize window is displayed
selects Preview mode. The two measures from the current
location of the song will play back repeatedly. The preview start
location can also be specified by pressing [FWD] or [BWD]. To
exit Preview mode, press [STOP].
The Quantize operation will correct only the timing at which
notes were pressed (note-on) and released (note-off), and will
not correct any other sequencer data. This means that if you
record MIDI messages such as bend range or modulation along
with notes, quantization can cause the notes to go out of sync
with the MIDI messages, skewing timing. To avoid such
problems it is better to record non-keyboard data afterward,
using mix recording, etc.
1.
Access the SONG LIST screen, and then load the song you
want to edit (p. 84).
2.
Press EDIT [SONG] to access the MIDI TRACK screen.
3.
Press [F2 (QUANTIZE)].
The Quantize window appears.
4.
Use [F3 ( )] [F4 ( )] or [
and use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to set the value.
Parameter Value Explanation

Ch 1–16 tized
] [ ] to select a parameter,
ALL: Quantizes all notes.
Ch 1–16 Quantizes only the notes of a
specific MIDI channel.
