Song Job
Undo job cancels the changes made by the most recent operation, restoring the data to its previous state.
Redo job cancel Undo and restores the changes.
Note data Jobs
Quantization is the process of adjusting the timing of note events by moving them closer to the nearest
exact beat. You can use this feature, for example, to improve the timing of a performance recorded in real
time.
This Job alters the velocity values of the specified range of notes, letting you selectively boost or cut the
volume of those notes.
This Job alters the gate times of the specified range of notes.
This Job lets you create a crescendo or decrescendo over the specified range of notes. (Crescendo is a
gradual increase in volume, and decrescendo is a gradual decrease.)
This Job changes the pitch of the notes in semitones.
This Job replaces all notes following the first note in the specified range with pitch bend data, producing
smooth glides from note to note.
This Job creates a series of repeated notes (like a drum roll) in the specified range with the specified
continuous changes in clock step and velocity. This is ideal for creating fast staccato rolls and special
stuttering effects.
This job sorts chord events (simultaneous note events) by order of pitch.
This Job slightly separates notes in chords within the specified range, inserting a specified number of
clocks between each note. Use this Job after the Chord Sort Job above, to create guitar-like upstroke or
downstroke effects.
Event Jobs
This Job shifts all data events in the specified range forward or backward by the specified number of
clocks.
This Job copies all data from a specified source range to a specified destination location.
This Job clears all specified events from the specified range, effectively producing a segment of silence.
This Job moves all instances of specified event data from a specified range of a track to the same range in
a different track.
This Job creates continuous pitch bend or control change data over the specified range.
This Job thins out the specified type of continuous data in the specified range—allowing you to free up
memory space for other data or further recording.
This Job lets you change the values of specified data such as Pitch Bend and Control Change in the
specified range.
This Job performs time-expansion or compression over the selected range.
Measure Jobs
This Job creates empty measures at the specified location in all tracks.
This Job deletes the specified measures.
Track Jobs
This Job copies all data of the selected type from a specified source track to a specified destination track.
This Job exchanges or "swaps" the specified type of data between two specified tracks in the current
Song.
This job mixes all data from two selected tracks.
This Job deletes all data of the selected type from the selected track.
This job rewrites the data in the selected track so that it incorporates the current Play FX/Groove/MIDI Delay
settings.
This Job separates the note events in a drum performance assigned to a specified track, and places the
notes corresponding to different drum instruments in separate tracks (tracks 1 through 8).
This Job copies data in the specified measures of a track for creating Arpeggio data.
This Job copies the Phrase (created in the Pattern mode) to a specified track of the current Song.
Song Jobs
This Job copies all data from a selected source Song to a selected destination Song.
This Job allows you to copy a Part of the current Song to a specific Pattern.
This job deletes all data from the selected Song or all Songs. It can also be used to delete all 64 Songs at
the same time.
