Changing the pitch
PITCH C-1...G9
1. Turn off the Keyboard function key (the key will go dark).
2. Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indi-
cate PITCH.
3. Use the PART SELECT key to select the part that you wish to
edit.
4. The step keys will light to indicate the trigger locations of the
pattern for that part. Press the step key for the step whose
pitch you wish to edit (the key will blink). By pressing a step
key where a trigger exists, you can audition its pitch.
5. Rotate the dial to modify the pitch of that step.
When the display is showing the Pitch, pressing a step key will
not switch its trigger on/off.
Changing the pitch of a step whose trigger is off will have no
effect. If you turn that trigger on, the specified pitch will be
used. If you wish to transpose the pitch for one part of the en-
tire pattern, refer to p.30 "Changing the pitch data of a part (Pitch
Shift)."
The pitch will be shown in the display as follows.
Changing the gate time
GATE TIME 0.25...64.0
1. Turn off the Keyboard function key (the key will go dark).
2. Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indi-
cate GATE TIME.
3. Use the PART SELECT key to select the part that you wish to
edit.
4. The step keys will light to indicate the trigger locations of the
pattern for that part. Press the step key for the step whose
gate time you wish to edit (the key will blink). By pressing a
step key where a trigger exists, you can audition its pitch.
5. Rotate the dial to modify the gate time of that step.
The value shown in the display is the gate time length in units
of a step. For example if the gate time is set to 1.0, the gate time
will be exactly as long as one step.
If the gate time length extends into the timing of the next
note, the filter EG of the next note will not be retriggered.
When the display is showing the Gate Time, pressing a step
key will not switch its trigger on/off.
Changing the gate time of a step whose trigger is off will have
no effect. If you turn that trigger on, the specified gate time will
be used.
