Song Job
The Song Job mode contains a comprehensive set of editing tools and data transform functions you can use to change the
sound of the Song. It also includes a variety of convenient operations, such as copying or erasing data. 30 Jobs are
available.
Function Description
[F1] Undo/Redo
Undo job cancels the changes made by the most recent operation, restoring the data to its previous state.
Redo job cancel Undo and restores the changes.
[F2] Note
Note data Jobs
01: Quantize
Quantization is the process of adjusting the timing of note events by moving them closer to the nearest
exact beat. You can use this feature, for example, to improve the timing of a performance recorded in real
time.
02: Modify Velocity
This Job alters the velocity values of the specified range of notes, letting you selectively boost or cut the
volume of those notes.
03: Modify Gate Time
This Job alters the gate times of the specified range of notes.
04: Crescendo
This Job lets you create a crescendo or decrescendo over the specified range of notes. (Crescendo is a
gradual increase in volume, and decrescendo is a gradual decrease.)
05: Transpose
This Job changes the pitch of the notes in semitones.
06: Glide
This Job replaces all notes following the first note in the specified range with pitch bend data, producing
smooth glides from note to note.
07: Create Roll
This Job creates a series of repeated notes (like a drum roll) in the specified range with the specified
continuous changes in clock step and velocity. This is ideal for creating fast staccato rolls and special
stuttering effects.
08: Sort Chord
This job sorts chord events (simultaneous note events) by order of pitch.
09: Separate Chord
This Job slightly separates notes in chords within the specified range, inserting a specified number of
clocks between each note. Use this Job after the Chord Sort Job above, to create guitar-like upstroke or
downstroke effects.
[F3] Event
Event Jobs
01: Shift Clock
This Job shifts all data events in the specified range forward or backward by the specified number of
clocks.
02: Copy Event
This Job copies all data from a specified source range to a specified destination location.
03: Erase Event
This Job clears all specified events from the specified range, effectively producing a segment of silence.
04: Extract Event
This Job moves all instances of specified event data from a specified range of a track to the same range in
a different track.
05: Create Continuous Data
This Job creates continuous pitch bend or control change data over the specified range.
06: Thin Out
This Job thins out the specified type of continuous data in the specified range—allowing you to free up
memory space for other data or further recording.
07: Modify Control Data
This Job lets you change the values of specified data such as Pitch Bend and Control Change in the
specified range.
08: Beat Stretch
This Job performs time-expansion or compression over the selected range.
[F4] Measure
Measure Jobs
01: Create Measure
This Job creates empty measures at the specified location in all tracks.
02: Delete Measure
This Job deletes the specified measures.
[F5] Track
Track Jobs
01: Copy Track
This Job copies all data of the selected type from a specified source track to a specified destination track.
02: Exchange Track
This Job exchanges or “swaps” the specified type of data between two specified tracks in the current
Song.
03: Mix Track
This job mixes all data from two selected tracks.
04: Clear Track
This Job deletes all data of the selected type from the selected track.
05: Normalize Play Effect
This job rewrites the data in the selected track so that it incorporates the current Play FX/Groove/MIDI Delay
settings.
06: Divide Drum Track
This Job separates the note events in a drum performance assigned to a specified track, and places the
notes corresponding to different drum instruments in separate tracks (tracks 1 through 8).
07: Put Track to Arpeggio
This Job copies data in the specified measures of a track for creating Arpeggio data.
08: Copy Phrase
This Job copies the Phrase (created in the Pattern mode) to a specified track of the current Song.
