DATA TYPE
Allows you to select the data to be erased:
FROM NOTE (0 C-~127 G9)
This parameter is only displayed if DATA TYPE (see above) is
set to “Note”. It allows you to set the note (or lower limit of
the note range) to be modified within the specified FROM/
TO time range.
It is not displayed when you select EQUAL, UNEQUAL,
HIGHER or LOWER. See also “Fine-tuning the setting
range”.
TO NOTE (0 C-~127 G9)
This parameter allows you to set the upper limit of the note
range to be modified within the specified FROM/TO time
range.
FROM CC (0~127)
This parameter is only displayed if DATA TYPE (see above) is
set to something else than “Note”. It allows you to set the
lower limit of the control change numbers or values to be
modified within the specified FROM/TO time range.
It is not displayed when you select EQUAL, UNEQUAL,
HIGHER or LOWER.
TO CC (0~127)
This parameter allows you to set the upper limit of the con-
trol change numbers or values to be modified within the
specified FROM/TO time range.
Fine-tuning the setting range
Before setting “TO NOTE” (and possibly “FROM NOTE”) or
“TO CC” (and possibly “FROM CC”), it might be a good idea
to decide how you want to use the note or value indica-
tions. Depending on the option you choose, “FROM NOTE”
or “FROM CC” may not even be available, so that setting it
beforehand would be a waste of time.
EXECUTE
Press this field to confirm your settings and edit the data.
Unlike the ERASE function, DELETE not only erases
the data but also the measures, beats and/or CPT
units, so that all data that lie behind the TO position
are shifted towards the beginning of the track(s). For
this reason, you cannot choose the data type to be
erased.
TRACK (AL, 1~16)
Allows you to select the track you wish to edit. You can
also select “ALL” here, in which case the operation applies
to all tracks.
FROM
BAR (1~[last measure of the track or song])—Refers to
the first measure to be edited. By default, the FROM
value is set to the beginning of the selected track(s).
BEAT (1~[number of beats per bar])—Specifies the
beat position. The number of available beats depends on
the time signature in the selected area.
CPT (1~119)—Refers to the starting CPT position. “CPT”
is short for “Clock Pulse Time”, the smallest unit used by
the E-80. (There are 120 CPTs to every beat of a 4/4 bar.)
Change this setting only if your edit operation should
start after the selected beat.
TO
By default, the TO position is set to the last event of the
selected track (or the last event of the longest track when
you select “ALL”).
BAR (1~[last measure of the track or song])—This is
where you specify the bar position of the last measure to
be edited.
ALL All parameters listed below.
Note Only note messages.
P.Bender Pitch Bend data.
Control
Change
Control change messages.
Prog. C Program change messages.
NRPN Non-registered-parameter-number messages.
These are parameter control functions of the GS/
GM2 format that are easier to use than SysEx
messages (but basically have the same function).
RPN Registered-parameter-number messages. They
work like NRPN messages, and are understood by
many GM- and GM2-compatible tone genera-
tors.
CAF Channel Aftertouch messages. If you don’t really
need them, these messages should definitely be
erased, because they use a lot of memory.
[EQUAL] Only the selected note or value will change.
(The note/value can be set using the TO NOTE/
TO CC field.)
[UNEQUAL] All notes or values except the one you select
will change. (The note/value can be set using
the TO NOTE/TO CC field.)
[HIGHER] Only notes or values above the selected one
will change. (The note/value can be set using
the THAN NOTE/THAN CC field.)
[LOWER] Only notes or values below the selected one
will change. (The note/value can be set using
the THAN NOTE/THAN CC field.)
[INSIDE] Only the notes or values between FROM NOTE/
FROM CC and TO NOTE/TO CC will change.
[OUTSIDE] Only the notes or values below FROM NOTE/
FROM CC and above TO NOTE/TO CC will
change.
DELETE
Delete From 2.1.0 To 4.1.0
