Moving The Performance Data Backward Or Forward (Shift Timing) - Roland MV-8000 Owner's Manual

Moving the performance data backward
or forward (Shift Timing)
This command lets you moving the timing of performance data backward or forward
in units of one tick. By shifting the performance data slightly, you can make the
performance "rush" or "drag" the beat.
1.
Specify the editing region as described in Using the PIANO ROLL EDIT
screen to edit a MIDI track (p. 90) or Using the SEQUENCE EDIT screen
to edit (p. 91).
This specifies the region of sequence data in which the timing will be shifted.
2. Access the SELECT SEQUENCE EDIT COMMAND popup (p. 225), and
choose "Shift Timing..."
The SHIFT TIMING popup (p. 233) will appear.
3. Set the parameters.
• Bias
This parameter specifies the amount by which the performance data will be shifted (in
units of one tick). For example to move the performance data 10 ticks later in time, you
would specify a value of +10.
• Note Range
This specifies the range of note numbers whose timing will be shifted. For example if
you want to shift the timing of note numbers between C3 and C4, set the left and right
values of the Range parameter to "C3" and "C4" respectively. You can also specify
these by striking the pads.
If you use the VIEW FILTER popup (p. 245) to restrict the types of event that will be edited,
only the specified type(s) of events will be shifted in time.
4. Press (Execute).
The data in the specified region will be shifted in time.
Editing a song
If the Shift Timing command
would move data to a point
earlier than the beginning of
the song, it will simply be
moved to the beginning of the
song. If this command moves
data to a point later than the
end of the song, the necessary
number of measures will be
added. The time signature of
the added measures will be the
same as that of the preceding
measure.
For details on all of the
parameters and values for
the Shift Timing command,
refer to the SHIFT TIMING
popup (p. 233).
The Range parameter is
available if you have accessed
the SHIFT TIMING popup
from the SEQUENCE EDIT
screen.
