Note Editing
You can use the QX3 front panel for very convenient editing (CHANGE) and
entrv (INSERT) of data.
е Note Name keys (С-В) will enter a successively higher octave when
pressed repeatedly. (A successively lower octave when pressed while
holding the SHIFT key.)
© +8va, —8va keys adjust the octave up or down.
e ppp — fff keys specify the velocity. You can also use a MIDI controller
to set the velocity (p.19).
|
е Note Length Keys (thirty-second note — whole note, sixteenth and
eighth triplets) set the step time to the selected note value, and set the
gate time (duration) to the length specified in Gate Time Ratio p.19
(default is 90% of the step time). By pressing the same note length key
again, you can double the step and gate times.
® -N- is used to divide the current step time, allowing you to enter 'n-tup-
lets'. Press -N-, then press a numeric key 2-9. You can press -N- again
to further subdivide this. For example, if you wanted to enter 7 notes
over a whole note and put 5 notes over the last note of the 'septuplet',
A
you would press the whole note key, -N-, 7, enter six notes, -N-, 5, and
enter five notes.
Since note values will not always be evenly divisible into a measure,
you might not end exactly on the measure bar. In this case, use the dial
(set to CLOCK) to correct your position.
® tie is used to tie several note values together. For example, if you
wanted a note equal to a tied whole and eighth note, you would press
the whole note key, tie, and the eighth note key. You may tie as many
notes аз you wish.
е 'dot' increases the gate and step times by 50% (i.e. a 'dotted' note). You
can continue pressing this key to further lengthen gate and step times.
@ slur makes the gate time (duration) equal the displayed step time.
Ф stac cuts the gate time (duration) in half. You can continue pressing
stac to further shorten the gate time.
@ CHORD sets the step time to 0, so the next entered note will be at the
same location.

e REST sets the note number to 255 (rest). 'Rest' data is not actuallv

present іп the track; instead the step time is lengthened appropriatelv.
e In INSERT mode DELT will erase the previouslv entered data and
move back to the position of the deleted data. If the previously entered
data was a chord, all notes in the chord will be deleted together. In
CHANGE
mode, DELT will delete the currently displayed data and
move to the next data.
е You can use MIDI controllers to enter ties and rests. See p.19.
Step Record
In Edit [INSERT] mode, you can enter notes one at a time from the QX3
panel switches or from a MIDI keyboard, to record phrases that would be
difficult to play by hand. (There is no separate 'STEP RECORD'
mode.)
Before entering notes, you must specify the note length from the QX3 panel.
When you release each note, it will be recorded (there is no need to press
ENTER), and the position will move ahead by the step time. To enter chords,
press and release the notes together.
