Shifting The Timing At Which An Instrument Sounds (Timing Shift) - Boss Dr. Rhythm DR-770 Owner's Manual

Chapter 4. Editing a Pattern
Shifting the Timing at Which an
Instrument Sounds (Timing Shift)
Timing Shift is a function that moves a recorded instrument
backward or forward within a pattern by a specified number
of clocks. This can be used to create "rushing" or "dragging"
effects, to make a pattern sound more natural.
NOTE
After Timing Shift has been set, it is not possible to return to the
previous condition. If you want to keep the previous pattern, copy it
(p. 62) to another pattern before executing the Timing Shift operation.
1. Press [SONG/PTN] so the display indicates
"PATTERN."
The DR-770 is now in Pattern mode.
2. Use [VALUE*] to select the pattern (user pattern) for
which you want to set Timing Shift.
3. Press [UTILITY] so the display indicates "UTILITY."
The DR-770 is now in Utility mode.
4. Use [
] [ ] to select "5 SHIFT."
