■ Change Velo
The “Change Velo” function allows you to modify the
dynamics (called “velocity”) of a track or excerpt. Only
note events can be changed.
Press the [WRITE] button (its indicator flashes) to
confirm your settings and edit the data.
■ Change Gate Time
This function allows you to modify the duration of
the notes in the selected time (“From”/“To”) and note
(“From Note”/“To Note”) ranges. We recommend you
only use this function to shorten notes that suddenly
seem too long when you assign a different sound to
the track in question. You cannot view the duration
of the notes here, which makes editing the data “en
bloc” a little bit hazardous. See “Editing individual
rhythm events (Micro Edit)” on p. 99 for how to
change the duration of individual notes.
Parameter Setting Explanation
Track ADrums~Acc6,
ALL
Allows you to select
the track you wish to
edit. You can also
select “ALL” here, in
which case the opera-
tion applies to all
tracks.
Mode Major, Minor,
7th
Allows you to select
the Mode to be edited.
Division Intro 1~4,
Main 1~4, Fill
Dwn 1~3, Fill
Up 1~3, End
1~4
Use this parameter to
select the Division you
want to edit.
From Bar~

Bias* –99~99) Allows you to specify
by how much the
velocity values should
change. Select a posi-
tive value to increase
the velocity (the value
is added to the velocity
value of the affected
notes) or a negative
value to decrease the
velocity values (that
value is subtracted).
Select “0” if you prefer
to work with the
“Magnify” parameter
(see below).
Magnify** 0~200% This parameter works
like a “Compander”
effect (a dynamics pro-
cessor that simulta-
neously acts as
compressor and
expander), although it
processes MIDI data:
by selecting a value
above “100%” you
increase the differ-
ences between high
and low velocity values
in the selected range.
Values below “64” are
lowered, while values
above “64” are
increased. The result is
therefore that the dif-
ference between pia-
nissimo and fortissimo
becomes far more pro-
nounced.
From Note/
To Note
0 C-~127 G9 “From Note” refers to
the lower limit of the
note range you want
to change. “To Note”
represents the upper
limit.
[*] Even the highest positive or negative value doesn’t allow you
to go beyond “1” or “127”. There is a reason why “0” is impossi-
ble: that value is used to indicate the end of a note (note-off).
“127”, on the other hand, is the highest velocity value the MIDI
standard can muster. Adding a high positive velocity value may
thus lead to all notes being played at “127”.
[**] “Magnify” values below “100%” have the opposite effect:
they push all velocity towards the imaginary center of “64”, thus
reducing differences in playing dynamics.
