Thinning Out the Sequencer Data
(Data Thin)
Continuously variable controllers such as aftertouch, pitch bend, and
expression tend to create unexpectedly large amounts of data when
operated. Data Thin will strip out redundant data to increase the
amount of memory available for the sequencer.
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 Data Thin, and then press [8
(Select)].
A message of DATA THIN: Select target point. appears.
4. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the first measure of the
track or pattern whose sequencer data you want to thin. 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 sequencer data
you want to thin, and press [8 (Select)] to specify it.
The Track Edit (Data Thin) window appears.

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 track(s) or pattern whose sequencer data will be
thinned.
Value
ALL: Phrase tracks 116, the beat track, and the tempo track
TRK 1TRK 16: The specified phrase track
PTN001PTN100: The specified pattern
Measure, for (Edit Range)
Check/modify the range of measures whose sequencer data will be
thinned. If you set for to ALL, all measures will be specified.
Value
For thinning data which incorporates rapid changes, use higher
settings. If you dont want to thin that much data even though it is
subject to rapid change, use lower settings.
Time
If you are thinning data that changes gradually over time, use higher
settings. If you dont want to thin that much data even though the
changes are gradual, use lower settings.
Status
Selects the type of data to be thinned.
Value
ALL: All following sequencer data types
P.AFT: Polyphonic Aftertouch
C.C: Controller numbers
C.AFT: Channel Aftertouch
BEND: Pitch Bend
Range
If you set the Status parameter to P.AFT or C.C, specify the
range of data. Specify the minimum value of the range at the left,
and the maximum value at the right.
To thin all Polyphonic Aftertouch data, set C-1G9. To thin C4
Polyphonic Aftertouch data, set C4C4. To thin Polyphonic
Aftertouch data from C3 to C4, set C3C4.
To thin all Controller numbers, set 0127. To thin number 4,
set 44. To thin numbers from 3 to 14, set 314.
Channel (MIDI Channel)
Selects MIDI channel of the data to be thinned.
To thin all sequencer data, set this parameter to ALL. To thin
