Thinning Out The Performance Data (Data Thin) - Roland MV-8800 Owner's Manual

Thinning out the performance data (Data Thin)

Since values for data types such as aftertouch, pitch bend, and expression are recorded continuously, these
can produce a large quantity of data. By using the Data Thin command to reduce the amount of data in a way
that will not be perceptible, you can conserve memory and lighten the load on the sequencer.
●
For details on all of the parameters and values of the Data Thin command, refer to "DATA THIN popup" (Screen
Guide; p. 42).
❍ Parameters to specify
• Value
Set this to a higher value if you want to thin out performance data even if it contains sudden changes. Set this
to a lower value if you don't want to apply much thinning to performance data that contains sudden changes.
• Time
Set this to a higher value if you want to thin out performance data that changes slowly. Set this to a lower value
if you don't want to apply much thinning to performance data that changes slowly.
• Note Range
This specifies the range of polyphonic aftertouch of that will be reduced. For example if you want to reduce
note numbers of polyphonic aftertouch in the range of C3 and C4, set the left and right values of the Range
parameter to "C3" and "C4" respectively. You can also specify these by striking the pads.
●
If you use the VIEW FILTER popup (Screen Guide; p. 53) to restrict the types of event that will be edited, only
the specified type(s) of events will be thinned.
