Owner’s Manual
This mode gives you comprehensive, detailed controls for editing the MIDI events of individual Song tracks. MIDI events are messages (such as
note on/off, note number, program change number, etc.) that make up the data of a recorded Song.
[F5] DELETE
Press this to actually delete the note events at the current cursor position.
[F6] BAK DEL (Back Delete)
Moves the pointer backward by one step and deletes all notes at that location.
n Mistakenly entered notes can be erased by pressing [F6] immediately after they are entered (before changing the step time value).
Song Edit mode
[SONG] Song selection [EDIT]
[F1] CHANGE
Shows the Event List of the selected Song track. For information on how to edit the Event List, see page 124.
[F2] VIEW FLT (View Filter)
The Event View Filter lets you select the event types that appear on the Event List display ([F1] CHANGE display). For example, if you wish to edit only note events,
place a checkmark in the box next to “Note” so that only the note events appear in the Event List display.
Settings: Note, PitchBend, ProgramChange, ControlChange, Ch.AfterTouch, PolyAfterTouch, RPN (Registered Parameter Number), NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number), Exclusive
[F5] CLR ALL (Clear All) Press the [F5] button to remove all checkmarks at once.
[F6] SET ALL Press the [F6] button to set checkmarks into all boxes.
[F4] TR SEL (Track Select)
You can switch between the display for 1 - 16 tracks, SCN (Scene) track, and TMP (Tempo) track by pressing this button.
[F5] INSERT
When the cursor is located at the desired position in the [F1] CHANGE display (Event List), pressing this button calls up the display for inserting new MIDI events
in the Song mode or Pattern mode.
Note This is the most common and prevalent type of data — the individual notes of a Song.
FNOTE (Note name) Determines the note name or the specific keyboard pitch of the note.
Settings: C -2 ~ G8
FGATE (Gate time) Determines the length of time that a note actually sounds in beats and clocks.
Settings: 00:001 ~ 999:479
n On this synthesizer, one clock is 1/480th of a quarter note.
FVELO (Velocity) Determines how strongly the selected note sounds.
Settings: 1 ~ 127
PitchBend These are the events that define continuous changes in pitch and these events are generated by Pitch Bend Wheel
operation.
FDATA Determines the Pitch Bend data.
Settings: -8192 ~ +8191
ProgramChange These events determine the Voice for the selected track.
FBANK Determines the Voice bank.
Settings: 000 ~ 127, ***
n Bank select MSB and LSB are actually part of the Control Change set of messages (below). However, since they apply
specifically to Voice selection, they are grouped and described here.
FPC NO
(Program Change Number)
Determines the specific Voice (from the bank selected by MSB and LSB above).
Settings: 000 ~ 127
n For a complete list of the available voice banks and numbers, refer to the Voice List in the separate Data List booklet.
