Fingered chord:
A function that automatically detects chords
based on the combination of notes that are
played on the keyboard, and converts the
playback of patterns to the chords that are
detected.
G
Gate Time:
The length of time that a note actually
sounds. Longer gate times produce slurred
notes, shorter gate times produce staccato.
GM:
An acronym for General MIDI. A specification
that defines the arrangement of voices in a
tone generator and its MIDI functionality,
ensuring that data can be played back with
substantially the same sounds on any GM-
compatible tone generator.
Groove quantization:
A Play Effect function that can be applied to
Song or Pattern data during playback. This
effect allows the song’s feel or “groove”
(putting the rhythm in front of or behind the
beat) to be altered without changing the
state of the original data.
Groove templates:
A collection of groove templates that can be
used in the Groove Quantization function.
H
Hexadecimal number:
A system of numbering based on 16, in
which the digits increment in units of n-th
powers of 16. The alphabetical characters A-
F are used to express the numbers 10-15.
This system of numbering is used for MIDI
data.
I
IBM-PC/AT Series:
A type of personal computer manufactured
and sold by the International Business
Machine Corporation. Compatible computers
are manufactured and sold by many
companies
Insertion (effect):
An effect which can be applied to one
specific part (track). With this effect, you can
apply effects more “aggressively” to your
song. (e.g. rotary speaker effects to organ
sounds, or “wah” effects to guitar sounds.)
Interval time:
A delay time that is inserted at regular
intervals of one kilobyte when transmitting
system exclusive data that was recorded in a
sequence track to tone generators (or
external MIDI tone generators).
L
LFO:
An acronym for Low Frequency Oscillator, a
block that produces a signal at a low
frequency which synthesizers use for the
creation of sound. The signal from the LFO
can be used to modulate pitch, volume or
tone to produce effects such as vibrato,
tremolo and wah.
Location:
The place within a song or pattern at which
notes will be input or playback will be
started, indicated as measure, beat, and
clock.
Low Pass Filter:
A type of filter which cuts high frequencies
above a specified point. The sound can be
brightened by raising the cutoff frequency of
the filter, or darkened by lowering it.
LSB:
An acronym for Least Significant Byte,
referring to the lower byte of data when
MIDI control change data is divided into two
bytes for transmission.
