• To enter a new pitch for the note: ....................................
Highlight the Note parameter and play the desired note on
the keyboard, or use the D/I buttons or rotary dial.
The note range is from C-2 to G8.
• To enter a new note duration: ..........................................
Highlight the Gate Time (Gate) parameter value, and
change as desired; or highlight the note symbol and use the
numeric keypad.
Gate Time is the length of the note in clocks. A normal 1/4
note, for example, is 86 clocks long. This is about 90% of
the actual length of a 1/4-note division, which is 96 clocks.
The "normal" length of the note is slightly shortened to
prevent notes from running into each other and sounding
slurred (a slur is produced by setting the full note length).
The left number is 1/4-note beats (96-clock units) and the
right number is clocks. The range is from 00-00 to 99-95.
The simplest and most efficient way to enter note lengths is
by using the numeric keypad, pressing the button corre-
sponding to the desired note value. (The note values are
printed directly above the buttons.)
• To enter a new note volume: .............................................
Highlight the Velocity (Vel) parameter value, and change as
desired; or highlight the dynamic indication and use the
numeric keypad.
This parameter controls the velocity (loudness) of the note.
The range is from 001 to 127.
A simple and efficient way to enter note velocities is by
using the numeric keypad, pressing the button correspond-
ing to the desired dynamic value. (The dynamic values are
printed directly above the buttons.)
To Change Controller Data
You can also change controller data values from the Edit
Change mode. Controllers include pitch bend, after touch,
modulation, sustain (damper switch), MIDI volume,
portamento, and many others.
1.
Highlight the desired Event line containing controller
data.
2.
Highlight the appropriate parameter and change the
value. Press E to actually change the value, or
highlight another Event line to cancel the change.
For controllers such as pitch bend and after touch:
Highlight the Data parameter and change as desired.
