Change Mode Editing

106
The "Change" edit mode is initially selected when the edit mode is engaged.
To edit any note in the song or phrase, simply move the cursor to the appropri-
ate line, and then to the required parameter within that line. For numeric values
any data entry method can be used to select a new value for the selected
parameter. When the cursor is located at the note length or volume symbol, the
numeric keypad can be used to directly enter the note lengths of volume
symbols marked on the keys. The edited line will flash when any parameter
within it is changed. This indicates that a change has been made but has not yet
been entered. Press the [ENTER] key to actually enter the changes, or move
the cursor to another line to cancel the changes.
Beat-Clock (Location)
The first column contains the note timing data. The left number (not the
measure number, which is the leftmost number on the current line) is the 1/4-
note beat within the current measure (1 through 4 in a 4/4 measure), and the
right number is the clock within that beat (00 through 95). The beat and clock
values can be selected and edited independently.
Note
This is the actual pitch of the note. The range is from C-2 to G8.
Gate Time
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.
If you don't want to enter note lengths using numbers, simply place the cursor
at the note length symbol to the right of the numeric note length value and use
the numeric keypad to directly enter the desired note length. The available
note-length symbols are marked on the keys. The numeric value will change
accordingly.
You would, for example, place the cursor here in order
to change the second note of the 3rd measure.
