You will notice that the page is divided into two halves, with the right half being a separate box
This is called the Region/Criteria box. The parameters in this box are used to select the range of
events (from a start Bar and Beat to and end Bar and Beat) for modiÞcation, as well as which
types of events function will affect.
The parameters in this box will generally be the same for most functions. For some functions,
however, some parameters may not apply. For example, Quantize and Transpose apply only to
notes, while Remap applies only to Controllers. In addition to the Region/Criteria box
parameters, the Locate parameter is also found on each function.
Since these parameters are common to most Track functions, we will deÞne them Þrst. Then
weÕll describe the individual functions along with the parameters speciÞc to each, which are
normally found on the left side of the page. Two functions, (Quantize and Reference Quantize)
have a unique parameters in their Region/Criteria boxes. WeÕll describe those parameters along
with the functions.
Once youÕve chosen a function and set the parameters to your liking, press Go. This executes the
editing function. You can then play the sequence to hear the results of your edit. If you donÕt like
your edit, simply exit the editor and press No when you are asked if you want to save. If you do
like your edit, you can press Done and use the more buttons to get to Save, or just exit the editor
and save the changes. Or, you can go to another edit function. Keep in mind though, that if you
choose to perform more than one edit without saving, and you are not satisÞed with one of the
changes you make, you will have to exit the editor without saving and then redo each of the
changes you made. ThatÕs why itÕs usually best to save after each successful edit.
Common Parameters for Edit Song: Track Functions

This parameter is available for every function on the TRACK page.
The Locate Bar and Beat will change in real time during play back and recording to reßect the
songÕs current position. It can be set to any Bar and Beat, including negative values. Play back
begins at, and Stop resets the song to the Locate Bar and Beat.
