Using the 16-track sequencer
166
r
G-70 Music Workstation
This function allows you to transpose the notes of
the selected track (non-note data obviously cannot
be transposed).
■TRACK (ALL, 1~16)
Allows you to select the track you wish to transpose. You
can also select “ALL” here, in which case the operation
applies to all tracks. When used with the [EQUAL] option,
TRANSPOSE is also useful for drum tracks. It allows you to
select another snare or kick sound, for example. Most Drum
Sets provide at least two snares, one assigned to note num-
ber 38 (D2), and a second assigned to note number 40 (E2).
By entering FROM NOTE= “38”, pressing the [EQUAL] field
and selecting “+2”, you can change your D2 snare to the E2
snare.
■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 selectable 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 G-70. (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.
● BEAT (1~[number of beats per bar])—Specifies the
beat position. The number of selectable beats depends
on the time signature in the selected area.
● CPT (1~119)—Refers to the last clock that should be
affected by the edit operation. Change this setting only
if your edit operation should not end exactly on the
selected beat.
■VALUE (–127~0~127)
This is where you can set the transposition interval in semi-
tone steps. If you wish to transpose a “C” part to “D”, enter
“2”. As you see, you can transpose the highest possible MIDI
note all the way down to the lowest (and vice versa).
Warning: “0” represents the lowest note the MIDI standard
(and the 16-track sequencer) can handle, while “127” is the
highest note. If you select “127” for note number “74 (D5)”,
for example, the resulting note number would be “201”,
which is impossible. Consequently, the sequencer will sub-
tract “12” from “201” until the result is less than or equal to
“127” – and therefore use the value “117”.
This happens to all notes that would otherwise lie below
“0” or above “127”.
Note: Be careful when applying TRANSPOSE to a drum track
(track 10 or any other track that uses a Drum Set). This results
in a dramatic change of your rhythm section (with a triangle
playing the kick notes, for example).
■FROM NOTE (0 C-~127 G9)
This parameter allows you to set the note (or lower limit of
the note range) to be modified within the specified FROM/
TO time 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.
It is not displayed when you select EQUAL, UNEQUAL,
HIGHER or LOWER. See also “Fine-tuning the setting range”
on p. 163 for details about the six button icons.
