UNDO operation (p. 42).
Track Length
This function allows you to modify the length (number of bars,
beats and clocks) of a pattern after recording. Data that lie outside
the range you decided to keep are discarded. Obviously, you only
need to change the settings of the Mode whose length you want to
modify.
NOTE
There is no way to recall the previous version, so be sure to save
your style before continuing (see p. 42).

Allows you to select the track you
wish to edit. You can also select
"ALL" here, in which case the opera-
tion applies to all tracks.
Allows you to select the Mode to be
edited.
Use this parameter to select the
Division you want to edit.
This parameter sets the amount by
which the notes are shifted. The
value refers to CPT units (one CPT=
1/120 q). Notes on the first beat of
the first bar cannot be shifted further
to the left, because that would mean
shifting them to the "0" measure,
which doesn't exist.
"From Note"
allows you to set the
note (or lower limit of the note
range) to be modified within the
specified "From"/"To" time range.
"To Note" allows you to set the
upper limit of the note range to be
modified.

"ALL" here, in which case the opera-
tion applies to all tracks.
Use this parameter to select the
Division you want to edit.
Specifies the length of a bar.
Specifies the beat position. The
number of selectable beats depends
on the selected time signature.
This parameter allows you to "fine-
tune"
the length. In most cases, you
will probably work with multiples
of q notes (i.e. 120CPT) because
120CPT represent one beat of an X/4
bar (1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, etc.).
Choose the Modes to which the new
length setting should apply. You
can also switch on two or all three
"Track"
button icons. If you set to
"ALL," all three Modes are selected
automatically (and that cannot be
changed).

Editing Individual Style Events (Micro Edit)

otherwise perfect style.

General notes about "Micro Edit"
Position indications: Sequencers only register
positions and distances specify when the notes are to be sounded or
when they should change (i.e. their "sequence").
Each event is executed at a given point in time, which is why they all
have a position indication
refers to the bar, the second to the beat within that bar and the third
to the clock (CPT) between the current beat and the next. Each beat
of a 4/4 bar comprises 120 clocks.
