Editing a pattern you entered using
the Grid Sequence function
You can edit the velocity and duration (the length
relative to the quantization) for each note of the
pattern that you created using the Grid Sequence
function.
In this example, let's add some dynamics by editing
the velocity of the closed hi‐hat in the drum pattern
that you created using the Grid Sequence function.
1. Press the GRID SEQ button to turn the Grid
Sequence function on.
2. Hold down the KEY button and press the F
to specify the note that you want to edit.
3. Press the  button to access the Grid Edit page,
and then press the  button to enter grid editing.
The upper line of the display shows the note
number you're editing.
The lower line shows (from the left) the grid
number, velocity value, and duration value. If a grid
note is off, the velocity value and duration are both
shown as "‐‐‐".
The grid number is shown as "the number
indicated by the function 01–08 LEDs" ‐ "the
number indicated by the function 09–16 LEDs."
This indication will be between 1‐1 and 8‐8.
For this example, let's change the velocity value to
120 for grid numbers 1‐1, 1‐5, 2‐1, and 2‐5 in order
to add an accent to the pattern.
4. Use the  buttons to move to the grid note that
you want to edit.
