03: Modify Gate Time - Yamaha QY 300 Owner's Manual

The Modify Velocity job
is a great way to "soften"
the sound of material that
has too great a variation between
the softest and loudest notes, or,
conversely, to add extra punch to
dull-sounding material. Experi-
ment with the parameters to get a
feel for what they do.

03: Modify Gate Time

38
New Velocity = Original Velocity x rate/100 + offset
(If the right side of the equation is less than 0, the New Velocity becomes 1.)
After setting the parameters as required press [ENTER] to execute the Modify
Velocity job. The metronome icon will appear on the display while the data is
being processed, then "Completed" will appear briefly when the job is done.
Press the [F6] key ("Exit") to return to the job list, or a mode key to go directly
to the selected mode.
Increases or decreases the gate times (length) of all notes in the specified track
and range of measures.
The "TR" parameter selects the track to be affected by the Modify Gate Time
job: "01" ... "16".
The "M" parameters above the graphic bar are used to specify the first
measure:beat and last measure:beat of the range to be modified.
The "rate" parameter sets the ratio between the shorter and longer gate time
values. A setting of "100%" maintains the original relationship between the
notes, lower values produce a narrower gate time range, and higher values
produce a broader gate time range. The range is from "0%" to "200%".
The "offset" parameter determines the amount of gate time modification.
"-" settings shorten the gate time while "+" settings increase the gate time.
The range is from "-99" through "0" to "+99".
