Editing Songs

Bias

Specifies the transpose amount in semitone steps. Set a “+” (positive)
value to raise the pitch, or a “-” (negative) value to lower the pitch. If
you do not want to transpose, set this to “0.”

Value:

-127– +127

Channel (MIDI Channel)

Specifies the MIDI channel(s) of the notes to be transposed.

Set this parameter to “ALL” for transposing all notes. When
transposing only the notes of specific MIDI channel(s), select the
MIDI channel(s) using this parameter.

Value:

ALL, 1–16

7.

When you have finished making settings, press [8 (Execute)]

to execute the operation.

Changing the Velocity (Volume)

(Change Velocity)

This function modifies the keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) of a
specified note area.

1.

Access the Song Edit screen, and then load the song you

want to edit (p. 136).

2.

Press [8 (Track Edit)].

The Track Edit window appears.

3.

Press

or

to select “Change Velocity,” and then

press [8 (Select)].

A message of “CHANGE VELOCITY: Select target point.”
appears.

4.

Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the first measure of the

track or pattern whose velocity you want to change. If you

want to specify all tracks, press [7 (TrkAll)].

5.

Hold down [SHIFT] and press

to move the cursor to the

last measure of the track or pattern whose velocity you want

to change, and press [8 (Select)] to specify it.

The Track Edit (Change Velocity) window appears.

fig.11-20_50

6.

Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the desired parameter,

and turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to make the

setting. First check the region that is to be affected by the

operation, and correct it if necessary.

Track

Check/modify the phrase track(s) or pattern whose velocity will be
changed.

Value

ALL:

Phrase Tracks 1–16

TRK 1–TRK 16:

The specified phrase track

PTN001–PTN100:

The specified pattern

Measure, for (Edit Range)

Check/modify the range of measures whose velocity will be
changed. If you set “for” to “ALL,” all measures will be specified.

Bias

Use this parameter to add a fixed bias amount to all velocities. If you
want to increase the velocity values by 10, set this to “+10.”

Value:

-99– +99

Magnify

Set this parameter if increases or decreases in velocity variations are
desired. For less velocity variation, use settings of “99%” or less. For
more velocity variation, set it to “101%” or greater. With a setting of
“100%,” velocity values do not change.

Value:

0–200 %

Channel (MIDI Channel)

Specifies the MIDI channel(s) of notes for which velocity will be
modified.

To modify velocity for all notes, set this parameter to “ALL.” When
modifying the velocity for only the notes of a specific MIDI channel,
select that MIDI channel using this parameter.

Value:

ALL, 1–16

Range

Specifies the range of note numbers for which velocity will be
modified. For instance, to modify velocity for C3 to C4 note range,
set this parameter to “C3–C4.” You can also specify the key range by
pressing keys on the keyboard.

7.

When you have finished making settings, press [8 (Execute)]

to execute the operation.

If You Want to Lower the Bass Sound One
Octave...

If your bass is played one octave higher than the staff notation,
use the Transpose function to lower it one octave.

To lower the bass sound one octave, set the Range parameter to
“Lowest–Highest” for the bass part, and set the Bias parameter
to “-12.”

When You Want to Change Percussion
Sounds...

You can also use the Transpose function to change percussion
sounds.

Suppose you want to change conga to tom. If the conga sound is
assigned to the D4 key, and the tom sound is assigned to the C3
key, set the Range parameter to “D4–D4” and the Bias
parameter to “-14.”
