Editing MIDI Events (Song Edit)
The Song Edit mode lets you edit the already recorded Songs or insert the new data to the Songs. It can be used to correct
mistakes as well as add dynamics or effects such as vibrato to refine and finish the Song. Press the [EDIT] button from the
Song Play mode to go to the Song Edit mode.
n The Song Edit 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 track.
The Song Edit mode consists of the Event List display and
the Insert Event window. The Event List display lets you
correct or delete already inserted MIDI events and the
Insert Event window lets you insert new events to the Song.
Press the [EDIT] button from the Song Play mode to go to
the Event List display. Press the [F5] button to call up the
Insert Event window.

Editing the recorded data
This section shows how to correct or delete previously
recorded events.
1 Press the [EDIT] button from the Song Play
display to call up the Event List display
(page 193).
2 Select the track to be edited.
Pressing the [F4] Track Sel button switches the
Recording track among Tracks 1 – 16, the Scene track
and the Tempo track. When “1 – 16 tracks” is selected,
you can select the track to be edited by pressing any of
the Number buttons [1] – [16].
3 Move the cursor to the event or parameter to
be edited.
Use the [L]/[M] (Cursor Up/Down) button to move the
cursor to the desired timing. Press the [G] (Rewind)/
[H] (Fast Forward) button to move the cursor by
single measures. Use the [<]/[>] (Cursor Left/Right)
button to move the cursor to the parameter to be
edited.
n For details about each event and parameter, see page 76.
n The Event List window may have an overwhelming
number of events, and it may be difficult to find a specific
desired event. To help narrow down your search, use the
View Filter function. This conveniently lets you specify
which classes of events will be displayed and which will
not, making it much easier and faster to find desired
events. For information about the View Filter display, see
page 194.
4 Change the parameter settings or location of
the event.
Edit the value by using the [INC/YES], [DEC/NO]
buttons and the data dial. The edited event will flash on
the display.
Change the event location by editing the MEAS
(measure), BEAT, and CLOCK. Press the [F6] button to
delete the event at the cursor location.
n When “NUM” is indicated in the tab corresponding to the
[SF6] button, you can use the [F1] – [F6] buttons and the
[SF1] – [SF5] buttons as numeric key pads by pressing
the [SF6] NUM button.
n The note and velocity can be edited also by pressing the
desired note on the keyboard, even though the [KBD] icon
is not shown.
