Making Slight Shifts In The Timing (Shift Clock); Thinning Out Unneeded Data (Data Thin) - Roland MC-808 Owner's Manual

Editing patterns (Pattern Edit)
Making slight shifts in the timing
(SHIFT CLOCK)
This operation shifts the timing of the performance data recorded in
the pattern backward or forward in units of one tick (1/480th of a
beat). Use this when you want to slightly shift the overall
performance.
* Data which would otherwise be moved earlier than the beginning of
the music data will be placed at the beginning. In the case of data
which would be moved later than the end of the music data, the
necessary number of measures will be added. However if the data
would otherwise be moved beyond the end of the pattern, it will be
placed at the end.

Description
first measure of the region to
perform "SHIFT CLOCK"
* If you set this to "SETUP," the
setup parameters (p. 43) will be
included.
last measure of the region to per-
form "SHIFT CLOCK"
* If you set this to "SETUP," only
the setup parameters will be
selected, and no measures will be
included.

Thinning out unneeded data
(DATA THIN)
Since data such as pitch bend or control change varies the value
continuously, it can occupy an unexpectedly large amount of
memory. The Data Thin operation thins out such data to reduce the
amount of memory it occupies without audibly affecting the
resulting playback. This lets you use the internal memory more
efficiently.

last measure of the region to thin
out the data
* If you set this to "SETUP," only
the setup parameters will be
selected, and no measures will be
included.
Amount by which data is to be
thinned
* Higher settings will cause more
data to be thinned. If the setting
is "0," the data will not be
thinned.
Type of data to be thinned
ALL: All of the following
musical data
CC: Control change
BEND: Pitch bend
Polyphonic aftertouch

CAFT: Channel aftertouch
