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, 116
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 116
TRK 1TRK 16: The specified phrase track
PTN001PTN100: 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: 0200 %
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, 116
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 C3C4. 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
LowestHighest 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 D4D4 and the Bias
parameter to -14.
