Delete Measure; Thin Out; Extract - Yamaha EX5 Owner's Manual

Measure
Sets the location (the beginning measure for
insertion) where empty measures will be inserted.
Settings: 001~999
Size
Sets the number of empty measures that will be
inserted.
Settings: 01~99
TIME
Sets the time signature for the empty measures.
Settings: 1/4~8/4, 1/8~16/8, 1/16~16/16
Since you can freely set the time signature, you can use
Create Measure function to make a song in an odd
meter.

4. Delete Measure

This job deletes a specified range of measures from a
song. The specified range is removed from all tracks
(sequence tracks 1~16, Pattern, Pattern Play Effect,
and Tempo tracks) at the same time. Any measures
which follow the last measure in the specified range
will move forward to fill the gap.
Measure
Sets the measure range (beginning measure to the
end measure) where Delete Measure is executed.
Settings: 001~999 (for the beginning measure and the
end measure)

5. Thin Out

This job removes every other occurrence of a
designated non-note event from the specified track
range. The purpose is to reduce the amount of data and
free up additional memory.
When the interval of each event is larger than 60 clocks,
data is not removed.
Track
Sets the track where Thin Out will be executed.
Settings: 1~16(Sequence tracks 1~16), tempo
Measure
Sets the measure range (beginning measure to the
end measure) where Thin Out is executed.
Settings: 001~999 (for the beginning measure and the
end measure)
Events
Sets the type of event that will be reduced. When
"CC" (Control Change) is selected, a setting
parameter will be added, and the control number can
be designated there.
When "tempo" is selected in Track, the tempo
change is automatically set in Events. Therefore, this
setting is not necessary.
Settings: Pitch Bend, Control Change(Control numbers
range from 000~127), Ch After Touch (Channel
After Touch) , PolyAfter Touch (Polyphonic
After Touch)

6. Extract

This job moves all instances of specific data from a
designated range of a sequence track to the same range
on a different sequence track. Following the operation,
the targeted events no longer exist in the source track.
If data already existed at the destination, the extracted
data and existing data are mixed.
You can also use this job to delete the specified event
data rather than move it. You can do this by setting the
extract destination track to "off."
