Change Mode Editing
The “Change” edit mode is initially selected when the edit mode is
engaged. To edit any note or other event in the song or pattern, simply
move the cursor to the appropriate line, and then to the required parameter
within that line. The [-1] and [+1] keys can then be used to select a new
value for the selected parameter. The edited line will flash when any
parameter within it is changed. This indicates that a change has been made
but has not yet been entered. Press the [ENTER] key to actually enter the
changes, or move the cursor to another line to cancel the changes.
The available parameters depend on the selected event type. The
note event parameters are listed below. See “Insert Mode Editing” (page
197) for other event types.
Beat-clock
The first column contains the note location data. The left number is
the beat within the current measure (1 through 4 in a 4/4 measure,
for example.), and the right number is the clock within that beat (000
through 479 in case of 1/4-note beat). The beat and clock values can
be selected and edited independently.
Pitch
This is the actual pitch of the note. The range is from C-2 to G8.
Gate Time
Gate time is the length of the note in beats and clocks. The number
to the left of the colon is 1/4-beats and the number to the right is
clocks within a 1/4-beat. A normal 1/4 note, for example, is 432
clocks long. This is about 90% of the actual length of a 1/4-note
division, which is 480 clocks. The “normal” length of the note is
slightly shortened to prevent notes from running into each other and
sounding slurred ( a slur is produced by setting the full note length).
The beat-clock range is from 00:001 to 99:479.
