Clock shift
You use this parameter to shift the playback timing by a
specified number of clock cycles.
On the RM1x, one clock cycle is equivalent to 1/480 quarter
note.
A negative value shifts the timing backward (toward the
beginning of the song), while a positive value shifts the
timing forward. A setting of +480, for example, will ef-
fectively delay the playback timing by one beat.

Function
Proportionally adjusts playback length of phrases on track.
If the meter is set to 4/4, for example, then setting the scale time to
50% compresses the meter to 2/4, while setting it to 75% compresses
the meter to 3/4. A 150% scale time expands the meter to 6/4; a
200% time expands it to 8/4.
Note timing also changes accordingly. At 50% scale, a quarter note
in the original phrase converts into an eighth note; at 66%, into a
quarter-note triplet; at 75%, into a dotted eighth; at 150%, into a
dotted quarter; at 200%, into a half note.
This scaling feature makes it easy to set up complex rhythms within
your patterns.
Shifts playback timing, in clock-cycle increments. See below for de-
tail.
Gate-time modifier, used to adjust the original gate times. See be-
low for detail.
Offset value, applied to the original velocities. See below for detail.
Shows the current selected track number. Track number selection
can be accomplished via this parameter, or by the keyboard method
described on page 27.
Shows the current transpose value. Transposition can be accom-
plished via this parameter, or by the keyboard method described on
page 27.

• It is not possible to shift the playback timing backwards
past the song's original start point. If you set the value to -
300, for instance, all song data in the first 300 clock cy-
cles of the recording will be shifted back exactly to the
start point.
