Song Mode and the Song Editor
Song Editor: Track Functions
Release: Yes/No
Set the Release parameter to Yes if you would like each quantized Note event's Note Off message
to be aligned to the grid location nearest to the time the key was originally released.
Shift
The Shift function allows you to offset the existing MIDI events forward or backward in time any
number of bars, beats and ticks. Events can not be shifted before Bar 1 : Beat 1 : Tick 0.
Amount: Bars : Beats : Ticks
The Amount parameter specifies the number of bars, beats, and ticks that the MIDI events, from
within the selected region, are moved forward (for positive values) or backward (for negative
values) in time relative to their original locations.
Mode: Merge/Erase
The Mode setting determines whether the shifted events merge with, or erase existing events on
the destination track from the location point to the end of the shifted region.
Transpose
Use the Transpose function to change the MIDI Note numbers of the selected Note events.
Semitone: -128 to 127 semitones
An increment of one semitone represents a change of one MIDI Note number. You can transpose
Note events only within the range of MIDI Note numbers 0 to 127.
